That's what it's there for, and it doesn't wind up in the latest threads feed cluttering it up for everyone else. Also, the lounge will give you more replies and enjoy the banter. You'll annoy no one there.

I love a good joke, but I find copycat threads to be annoying as hell when I'm looking for information.

once again, we need ALL the humour we can find these days.

feel free to ignore the threads that bug you. and I notice you are not mentioning that this is at least the second OP in the last few minutes with the same gripe.

Which, since I'm having to DU on my phone, means I have to open the thread, let it load, trash the thread, reload GD to only see 4 more.

I'm not being a stinker. Really. It's just ruined the latest thread feed and GD, to a lesser extent, for me tonight.

But, it's all in good fun. So, shame on me for being annoyed. Fine. But, it is making DU suck for me tonight.

How dare anybody have a little fun by taking a meme and running with it?

I mean, it's not like you could just ignore the threads, or come back tomorrow and they'll all be gone...

Because on the rest of the internet, CNN is still the Clinton News Network, and this bullshit that "even they are admitting Obama is losing" needs to be mocked.
