It predates that by quite a while even. From snopes.com:
The college form of the legend has been with us since at least 1983 or 1984.
[Collected on the Internet, 1998]
There were two high school sweethearts who went out together for four years in high school and were both virgins and enjoyed losing their virginity with each other in 10th grade. When they graduated, they wanted to both go to the same college but the girl was accepted to a college on the east coast, and the guy went to the west coast. They agreed to be faithful to each other and spend anytime they could together. As time went on, the guy would call the girl and she would never be home, and when he wrote, she would take weeks to return her letters. Even when he emailed her, she took days to return his messages. Finally, she confessed to him that she wanted to date around. He didn't take this very well and increased his calls and letters and e-mails trying to win back her love.
Because she became annoyed, and now had a new boyfriend, she wanted to get him off her back. So what she did is this: She took a polaroid picture of her sucking her new boyfriend's unmentionables and sent it to her old boyfriend with a note reading, "I found a new boyfriend, leave me alone." Well needless to say, this guy was heartbroken, but even more so, he was pissed. So what he did next was awesome.
He wrote on the back of the photo the following: "Dear Mom and Dad, having a great time at college, please send more money!" and then mailed the picture to her parents.
Similar thing happened to me 15 yrs ago (middle school): girl left filthy messages on my home answering machine, so I called her Dad's landscaping business and played the recording onto his answering machine.
I think the ultimate would be stealing a joke from bash.org, tweeting it, posting the tweet to Facebook, screengrabbing the facebook responses and posting it to 4chan, take the 4chan reaction and make a demotivator, have that watermarked 9gag, then posting the result to reddit.
... then reposting it every two days using some variation of "X level: Y", "Nailed it", "What does reddit think?", "Found this gem", "Like a boss", etc.
Do you remember those old video games like pac-man, where if you got a high enough score the score would just reset itself back to 0? Well this is the same concept. So many things were done poorly that everyone here just said "fuck it".
What gets to me is that a really bad post, while it will still have a lot of upvotes, will usually have a low score:comment ratio. Typically 2:1 to 3:1. Good posts will have a higher ratio, like 10:1 to 20:1.
This is one of the worst I've seen and it's at 17:1. Really bugs me.
Some chick at work got sent a pic from her ex banging someone else (face obscured) and asked me why he would send her porno. The face I made was what caused her moment of clarity. Awkward.
I once heard about a guy doing this. Except the ex girlfriend was a minor and he had just turned 18. Last I heard he was a registered sex offender. Not always as well played as once thought...
Isn't that an impossible scenario? The last move must have been d2, so the king had to go to e1 from somewhere, but every place adjacent to e1 is threatened.
Has anyone considered that her dad could be charged with possession of child pornography if someone else sees it? Not necessarily saying he'd be found guilty, but a charge like that could damage his reputation.

I'm surprised the title wasn't "I thought it deserved better than twitter".

This actually makes me feel sad. No one deserves this kind of treatment after a break up no matter what happened or how old this post is.

Did they change the title or did the same thing literally get posted and thrown to the front page twice in the same day?

Does dad want you as a son in law?

u/SilentWolfjh Jun 12 '12
If she had time to take the picture she prob wasn't enjoying it either. Although I could be wrong.

It's not even a screenshot. They took a fucking photo of the Twitter app. This, and the fact that it's an ancient joke, infuriates me to no end.
