Shutting it down may just have vindicated the trolls...

I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.

Obviously it's a result of vitriolic trolling rather than a widespread disgust at corporate bs.

There's plenty of funny stuff about 4Chan, just not on 4Chan.

Fear 4Chan, for it is the mind-killer.

Applejack couldn't win, it's a trademark for a delicious brandy-esque beverage. So even if it won't it'd lose.

Also, I am mad because they went back on their word. Hitler did nothing wrong won fair and square!

Whilst I think allot of stuff 4Chan dose is stupid and it is a cesspool of people how really need to grow up as they will ruin the internet for those of us who can act like adults, this is quite funny. Honestly, what did Pepsi think they were doing leaving something like that un-moderated? They wouldn't ask people to write to them with suggestions and then publish every single one in a national news paper, so why do the same thing online?

This is the latest in a long line of quite amusing examples
- 'Jedi' becoming classified as an official religion in the UK after tens of thousands listed it on the national census. Sadly, the government stepped in and blocked it
- The Greenpeace whale they had rescued being named 'Mr Splashy Pants'
- Rage Against the Machine topping the Xmas chart number 1 list a few years ago, ahead of the incessantly awful and perennial x-factor offering.
- The next space station module being named 'Battletoad' (not sure if that one happened or not)
- Rick Astley's 'Never gonna give you up' being voted the 'best song of all time' on MTV. The funniest thing about that was the MTV media people trying to treat the whole thing seriously.

4chan is awesome. It's a LOT less irritating than dakka. People focus on what they're trying to communicate rather than being dicks to each other.
