You're in the wrong subreddit for discovery of new subreddits. I think you want /r/discoveryofnewsubreddits.

Wait until your subreddit becomes nothing but irrelevant bullshit and constant reposts, much like what r/justiceporn has become.

[–]GrandmaTITMilk 0 points1 point ago

I approve this.

[–]happywaffle 32 points33 points ago

Not only is it a motivational-poster format, it's a homemade, misaligned, kludgey motivational-poster format.

[–]thejabronibeating 14 points15 points ago

And the punchline is in the title.

[–]raaaargh_stompy 1 point2 points ago

holy cow, my brain edited out the pseudo-motivation layout. I didn't see it until you mentioned it.

This image has obviously been around for a while. I always found it somewhat funny. Now I have kids and my daughter likes to read Peter Pan. First time I saw that name, I immediately thought - "Smee again, goan fuck yourself"

[–]ANAL_QUEEN 2 points3 points ago

Haha, you should tell your daughter that.

[–]Dorksome 1 point2 points ago

Rufio,Rufio, Ru-fi-o! Robin Williams will always be the best Peter Pan.

[–]woofers02 69 points70 points ago

It's almost as if it was created for the sole purpose of this joke.

No... no that can't be...

You misspelled fake.

I like the part where the person responding aloud on a radio show felt the need to clarify how the word is pronounced.

Seems to be from February 2001:

Here's another clipping of the same article. Below it is the UK National Lottery logo and some numbers. Those were the winning numbers for the draw on the 3rd of Feb 2001.

[–]whatevers_clever 1 point2 points ago

thanks, buzz killington

[–]Serjical_Strike 35 points36 points ago

this actually isn't fake, its from my local paper the evening echo in Cork City, Ireland. The local radio station is indeed 96fm here and from the people that live in my city I can truly see this happening.

the local accent here tends to meld words together since we talk very fast so 'it's me' can be pronounced 'smee' very easily here. same for 'goan'.

the font and layout of the article is also very similar to how the evening echo was perhaps a few years ago.

http://www.96fm.ie/Home - Radio station mentioned in the article.

http://www.eveningecho.ie/ - paper that the story is in.

anyway i found this funny(?) because I'm from here :)

[–]whiskey-tech 0 points1 point ago

[–]IHateEveryone3 -5 points-4 points ago

It's fake. The rules of the contest don't even make sense. The joke is not difficult to understand and variations of it have been around for probably hundreds (if not thousands) of years.

[–]derpderpastan -2 points-1 points ago

but the idea of having that contest doesn't make sense unless it is merely a setup for this joke

[–]whiskey-tech 0 points1 point ago

[–]hobes88 10 points11 points ago

I'm surprised they didn't just give it to him the first time, that's how people from Cork talk, nothing strange to the station.

[–]halakukhan 0 points1 point ago

I think its because that would have been offensive to the Go-ans

[–]StopReadingMyUser 2 points3 points ago

[–]tedthedog 5 points6 points ago

My favorite part of this fake unfunny thing is that Goan is most certainly a word in the dictionary. It is the word used to refer to people or cultural objects hailing from the Indian state of Goa. (e.g. Goan cuisine is heavy on seafood and coconut milk flavors.)

[–]analweapon 1 point2 points ago

Goan here, this made me sad(The post, not rhis comment).

[–]Trolliverr 1 point2 points ago

I've looked, and it isn't in my version of the dictionary, which admittedly isn't great, nor is it listed on dictionary.com. I believe you that it's a commonly accepted word, but I don't think it's in the dictionary.

[–]avfc41 2 points3 points ago

The OED lists it.

[–]kryptykk 3 points4 points ago

re-post, motivational poster-esque, and misaligned. There is a special section reserved for you in internet hell

[–]sinisterbob 1 point2 points ago

Don't forget that he put the punchline in the title, and it's a picture of just text. I've never seen one post break so many rules before.

[–]TheMeatball 2 points3 points ago

I used to do shit like this to a local radio station to keep myself entertained during my comute. It was like the 6th rated morning show in the city, so few people called in and the prizes were generally crap, so I would call in to answer questions and just try to work the word "turdburgler" in and they'd immediately hang up on me.

It got to the point where they'd always get audibly pissed off on the air and do the whole "doesn't that guy have anything better to do with his time? what a loser!" etc.

I persisted. It really cracked me up.

[–]Therandominator100 3 points4 points ago

As a listener to a local radio station, people like you are my hero.

[–]derpderpastan 0 points1 point ago

wow. i feel like hanging up on you right now. anything that makes it on the air is something they enjoyed. you're not pissing anyone off. you're just contributing worthless comedy to a shitty radio show that can't even write terrible jokes.

[–]TheMeatball 0 points1 point ago

anything that makes it on the air is something they enjoyed.

This was live radio, they didn't have a choice in the matter.

That said, I was just entertaining myself, not trying to contribute insightful comedy to the airwaves or whatever.

[–]Namaha 2 points3 points ago

Everything about this submission is terrible. For one, the punchline is in the title (did you miss the big fucking red letters in the submit screen?). Second, it's a demotivational poster. In 2012. Third, it's pretty obvious that the "story" is fake. Fourth and finally, the story is dumb anyway, the punchline is bad, AND IT'S A REPOST.

I don't like you.

As an irishman, I know this could have easily happened for realsies.

According to Kielty it did http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIixrUh9tAQ

[–]superbean69 -1 points0 points ago

I hate to be the one to say this, but this was reposted from 9gag.

In my defense, I only get on 9gag at school because reddit is blocked.

[–]craigrostan 0 points1 point ago

That was just pure genius, had me in tears laughing, Have an upvote

[–]TheCrawlingKingSnake 0 points1 point ago

That sounds like a ridiculously easy contest - if just stringing two words together like that was allowed (without swearing).

[–]Creabhain 0 points1 point ago

  • Fake
  • Punchline in the title
  • Poor Quality

Still kinda funny. My standards are low.
