BuzzFeed Articles

"*What is BuzzFeed you may ask. Well it's the number one list generating website on the internet.*"
―Erik
BuzzFeed Articles is the 21st lesson of Internet Comment Etiquette. It was released on March 3, 2015.

## Summary

Erik explains that BuzzFeed is a website that makes lists. He finds a list about things that happen in movie theaters. Buzzfeed is so rich that the list has two comment sections: a Facebook comment section and a regular comment section. In the Facebook comment section, he finds people adding their own entries. He adds his own item about sitting on an AIDS needle. Then in the regular comment section he attempts to post a picture of the word LOL, but he accidentally posts a picture of a diseased penis.

Erik looks for another article, but he accidentally wanders into BuzzFeed News and finds the more serious content shocking. He returns to BuzzFeed to look at a quiz about zodiac signs. He decides to post what he got in the comment section, but he realizes that's what everyone else did, so he warns everyone about the NWO instead.

Erik stumbles onto BuzzFeed News again, so he goes back to BuzzFeed to answer a poll about Disney romances. He becomes upset when the romance from Hercules is not the most popular. Erik looks to see if anyone else is complaining in the comments, and they are. He adds a complaint of his own and warns them about 9/11. Then he looks at a picture of Nicolas Cage and finds another depressing news story.

Moving on, Erik goes to BuzzFeed's YouTube channel and watches one of their videos that igives people tips. He decides that all of the tips are stupid, so he leaves a critical comment. Then Erik retweets Donald Trump because he's better at making fun of Donald Trump than Erik is. And finally, Erik gives the Comment Quiz of the Week.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU POSTING WHAT DRINK YOU NEED BASED ON SOME MADE UP STAR PATTERN BULLSHIT WHEN THERE ARE REAL LIFE CHEM TRAILS BEING LAID OUT ALL OVER THE GODDAMN JETSTREAM.**I JUST WISH ONE OF YOU IDIOTS WOULD COME UP TO ME AND TALK ABOUT ZODIAC SIGNS WHILE I'M OUT THERE POUNDING THE STREETS TRYING TO PREVENT THE SHADOW MASTERS FROM BASICALLY FUCKING US ALL IN THE ASS BY RELEASING ANTI-FERTILITY DRUGS INTO OUR VACCINES.**RESEARCH PROJECT BLUEBEAM AND HEADS UP TRIGGER WARNING (\_)\_):::::::::::::::::TRIGGER*

*Yeah right this quiz is accurate like jet fuel can melt steel beams. If you assholes spent less time visiting this website whenever your bosses aren't around, and more time reading up on how Tower 7 came down it might occur to you that there are more important things in life than finding out what your shoe size says about your kids or what kind of potato chip you are.**One minute you're browsing stupid websites and arguing about Disney princesses, and then boom you're waking up in a fema camp. Think about it you assholes*
- Erik

*Guess what your zodiac says about how many dicks this video should suck? The only trick I see here is getting 600,000 people to watch this fucking build your own lump of shit tutorial.**I mean granted you got me too, but that's not the point and I had nothing else to do but anyway go fuck yourself. The only way buzzfeed could fuck up my facebook feed any more is if they started posting baby photos and remarking on the weather. I wish I could hide this website from my internet the way our government hides its knowledge of underground pyramids within the United States. If Mr. Wizard ever saw this video he'd die again.**Eat my balls, not my butt, and I do not give facebook permission to distribute my personal data**signed,

## Comment Quiz of the Week

WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO GET HIRED AT BUZZFEED?

A) Work hard to build a portfolio of OP/ED pieces

B) Develop a conversational tone in your writing that skews to an 18-25 year old demographic

C) Live in New York long enough to not be able to even anymore

D) Steal ten GIF's from Reddit and jam them in your own asshole congratulations you've got the job you useless prick

## Context

1. ↑ Mr. Wizard was a children's TV host that showed how to do much more interesting tricks than anything BuzzFeed could come up with. He died in 2007.
2. ↑ There was a trend on Facebook where individuals copy-and-pasted a spiel about reserving their rights to their content onto their wall. It was not legally binding in any way and these people were generally mocked.
