If you aren't familiar with epic internet troll Ken M, you should be! When news about the Shitgibbon and his minions gets me down, I read some of the posts dedicated to Ken M on Reddit. You don't have to be a member of Reddit, just google 'An Ode to Ken M' and you'll see thousands of Ken's posts Reddit users have found all over the internet.
Or follow this subReddit link:

And there are several articles about the man behind the troll posts, like this one:

"If there was a troll's hall of fame this man would be front and centre. Ken M has reached a legendary prestige among online trolls - few can, like him, claim to have a dedicated subreddit following his every faux-dumb comment. He's so prolific, he was recently named one of Time's 30 most influential people on the internet. Solely on the strength and appeal of his trolling.
Natasha Umer at Upvoted tracked him down last year and found out he is actually Ken M Kenneth McCarthy. Hes a copywriter for Comedy Central in New York, having grown up in Florida. He began his crusade in 2011, writing fake comments in frustration at the toxicity of the threads more than anything else."
What I like most about Ken M is that he is never mean or cruel with his ridiculous statements, on everything from nutrition to space exploration. He portrays a clueless, conservative, older guy in his posts, although he is actually a hip, smart, 30-something-year-old who lives in New York and is a definitely a Democrat. People who don't know who he is and what he's doing attack him viciously, and his replies to them are hilarious! Epic indeed!
