Oops, I did it again! Looks like I pissed off a special breed of Gleeks
Many of you that know me... know that I enjoy a little bit of what can be referred to as "poking the bear" .. I sometimes.. rarely.. but sometimes like to stir things up if only for the sake of entertainment. Hey.. everyone likes a good train wreck once in a while.. So... I had an itch.. I created a Facebook page called "I Hate Lea Michele" If you don't know who that is.. it is the lady that plays the brunette chick on "Glee" named Rachel. Do I hate this person?? No. Don't know the person.. Her character is annoying and makes you want to kick her down an endless Spartan hole... but.. she may just be an ok actress who is going for that effect.. I don't know. But anyway... I started the page just to see what would happen with it. I posted absurd things as to why people should join me in my jihad against Lea Michele. Things such as "Lea Michele eats baby kittens for breakfast" "The sounds of forks scraping against plates sound better than her" "She drinks smoothies made out of puppies".. stuff like that.. At first it was a slow trickle.. People who didn't care for her for whatever reason posted their little snippets here and there. It was sort of fun.. but then.. this week.. a group of zealot-like Gleeks found my site.. They were outraged!! How dare we make fun of the most talented singer in the known universe!!! So.. they start spamming my page with mean comments and such.. I laughed... ALOT. With them coming on and filling my site with content, they successfully boosted "I Hate Lea Michele" to the front page of the Google searches. They even started an anti-I hate Lea Michele twitter account called the United Union Of Lea Michele.. or UULM as they affectionately call each other.. I am basking in the attention!! They are threatening to bring me down!!! I picture in my head an angry village mob (who happen to like show tunes) with their pitchforks and torches banging at my castle walls. It is GLORIOUS!! I just sit back and it has taken a life of its own.. people bickering about the most inane things!! People on both sides are absolutely losing their shit over this!! Oh.. sure.. I will occasionally add something to the effect of "A kid asked the Make a Wish Foundation to get Lea Michele to stop singing as his last wish... discuss" or "Countries from all over the globe have replaced waterboarding with making prisoners listen to Lea Michele sing with amazing results" ... you know.. just to keep the fire going... but that is it! 30 seconds out of my day.. I have even brought up that I appreciate the content and for everyone to keep going... I have even gone as far as stating on the site EXACTLY what I am doing as far as accomplishing what I wanted to do in getting people twisted... they don't get it. I guess I could just grow up.. but it is really hard not to mess with people when they make it effortlessly easy!

Funny...... but that is part of the reason I like you. :) Stirring the pot is a forgotten art form these days.
ReplyDeleteVery true about it being a lost art.. People get so easily "butt-hurt" nowadays..
