Sasha Grey and Mandy Morbid. I know them. This is the most awesome idea ever.

You'd be more of a dick if you went with http://lmgtfy.com/?q=4chan+meme

You got that spot-on.

I have no idea why. Instead of making me want to look away, they make me want to make insidious passive-aggressive comments until I make someone cry. Relax, these boards have so many numerous members it would be like trying to harass someone on 4chan. I was talking about the smaller forums...
