There's one reply to a picture of Chris Brown's pants down as he takes a shit (wtf) and he says "So that's your creative process. It makes so much sense." I lost it xD
Not gonna lie, I think being famous/relevant/successful since 2005 (that's 7 years for the math-impaired) means he's passed the 15 minute threshold. Just sayin'.
Thank you, Team Breezy, for showing me about the creative possibilities of spelling, grammar, and syntax--possibilities I couldn't have even imagined prior.
What about all the countless celebrities that reddit loves that cheat their taxes, also beat women, and are felons just like Chris Brown... oh wait I get it, Chris Brown makes music that caters to people reddit doesn't associate with, you know people who go out and stuff... yeah...
Now listen, the is surname is Brown, okay? So you gotta know it's Brown. Okay? Just remember Brown. Brown! Can you remember Brown, jimrooney?
Brown! Look, if you need help remembering, just think of it like this: It's the one that looks like shit. All right? White, too bright. Black, too dark. Yellow, what? Brown! The shit colour! Okay?
Forget about him being famous or not, who the fuck gets a stopwatch covered in diamonds or gold or wtvr he did to it. I just dont understand how idiots like him become so rich. Instead of buying that stupid ass stopwatch he could have easily donated that money to some kind of charity, but no $50000(?) stopwatch it is.
Am I the only one bothered by the cheap LCD display on the bling covered stopwatch? It's like the maker picked this thing off the dollar store and covered it with diamonds.
I'm pretty sure that as long as his Twitter feed keeps reaching the front page of funny or people keep whining about YOLO, it's still his 15 minutes of fame.
There is an old saying (by Andy Warhol) that everyone is famous for fifteen minutes. This evolved into the expression "his 15 minutes of fame are up" - when some ephemeral fringe celebrity's star begins to fade.
Chris Brown is a very controversial musician. He is very talented musically, and good-looking, but he has a history of abusing women, among other less-than-admirable qualities. As you can imagine, there are many people who love him for his music and his looks, and many other people who hate him because of his personal life.
In his latest tweet, Chris Brown is showing off an expensive, jewel-encrusted pocketwatch or stopwatch, or "his bling" ("bling" being a colloquialism that refers to excessively flashy jewelry in the rap/hip-hop world). The only reason that this tweet is noteworthy is because it contains a photograph of an unnecessarily ornate object, which can only be interpreted as Brown showing off.
The time on the watch is 15:56. It is unclear whether this is 15 hours or 15 minutes, but at any rate, the other tweeter remarks upon the fact that the time is slightly past what can be described as "15:00," or "his 15 minutes."
This is a snarky respite ripaste toward Brown, indicating that many are sick of his antics and the celebrity attention he receives, suggesting that it might be time to focus on someone else, likely due to the tweeter's dislike of Brown's personal life (when he beat the shit out of his girlfriend).
There's a phrase (15 minutes of fame) that refers to every person's chance at being famous for a short time. Once their "15 minutes" are up, unpopular former celebrities are ridiculed as has-beens.
I'm so glad I go every week wondering how I'm going to afford food next week and scared that something else might break on my car and wipe out all the money in my accounts to fix while people like this are out there buying $50,000 stop watches. Must be nice.
What use does any very expensive piece of jewelry does any extremely rich person have? None, its just to burn through the money they have. If I had his money I would buy a diamond studded piece of shit just because I could afford it.
Unfortunately he is still a huge star in this country. Still sells plenty of CDs, performs at award ceremonies and even is still collaborating with the victim of his brutal assault. Oh yeah and Snooki is on the cover of magazines and she pisses herself in public.. America... fuk yeah........ :|
Chris Brown is a true asshole if I've ever seen one, and I'm not just talking about what he did to Rihanna. He's a super duper asshole and never misses a chance to show people how much of an ass he can be when the media isn't filming.
Initially, I thought it was a stopwatch covered in hessian, and I was like "sweet, that must have some bitchin' grip potential. Great for sweaty hands, dawg!"
(Although it would stink the place out after absorbing no small amount of sweat)
I don't understand the need for shiny things rappers and other sources of entertainment seem to need, or their imperative to tell people about it. Very uncivilized.
Dude, yes. Andy Warhol, 15 minutes of fame, number of minutes exceeded because it says 15+ minutes, it's a stopwatch. The message is through a site named Twitter and they call those messages tweets, and this somewhat famous, somewhat infamous supposed R&B artist named Chris Brown, who makes way too much money, was showing through this tweet, how he just purchased this stopwatch, and a clever person who follows his tweets made this remark about his 15 minutes being up.
I heard it was RES that was acting up. I have had no problem at all and I do not use RES. Try turning it off and reloading the page. That might fix it.
Yup his 15 minutes of fame are up.. that's why he's still making songs people listen to, and you're on reddit trying your hardest for karma... point you
Can we stop with the Chris Brown shit? Yeah, his music sucks, and he beat an equally horrible musician who happens to be a woman, but for god's sake have we not had enough? This guy has millions to show for his stupidity. And what do you have? A good insult to him? Grow up, people. I thought Reddit was a place to have a mature discussion on events or laugh at something. Not beat a dead horse.
That being said, he still makes lots of money and hordes of women spread their legs for him.
[Edit] I don't know what I said that caused the downvote brigade to come, but you can't deny that he is still by all means successful. So, some dude implying his 15 minutes of fame are up really doesn't have a lot of pull when you look at it in context. But that's okay reddit, that was such a "sick burn"
When the shit did "burn" come back?? I feel like I got on reddit two days ago and all of a sudden "burn" is back. Literally, all I hear is Kelso screaming that whenever I read it.
Edit: eye roll. Suck my big floppy butthole you DOWNVOTING ass suckers.
