Why Some People Shouldn't Be Allowed to Use Twitter

themishmash.com — "Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co –workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?" User Dopeboyfresh, though, appears to be a perfect example of Twitter done wrong.

    • AlexBellisBrown, on 04/01/2008, -1/+13Notice the stomach was hurting, then soon after he had to poo? Thats science.
      • diversionmary, on 04/01/2008, -1/+1That's one /theory/ of many. We can't infer that causation implies correlation. Based on my research, the advanced biological process was created separately from initial pains. Ramen.
      • svensko, on 04/01/2008, -0/+1Don't you mean we can't infer that correlation implies causation?
  • haroldharper, on 04/01/2008, -1/+40what's the thought process involved in choosing the username DOPEBOYFRESH? i want to understand!
  • lonelycoo, on 04/01/2008, -0/+51http://twitter.com/dopeboyfresh
    He's still got the runs..
    • snowpatrol, on 04/01/2008, -0/+1"gotta tan. be back soon bro's...and ho's ;)"
    • stackered, on 04/01/2008, -0/+2omg... it gets worse and worse every time I recheck the link
  • TruckStuff, on 04/01/2008, -1/+72Urge to kill rising.....
    • icoup, on 04/01/2008, -2/+4...fading... fading - rising!
    • BigLLamasHouse, on 04/01/2008, -0/+2I wouldn't worry about it too much, this guy's obviously doing this to ***** with the internets. I mean don't let me ease your urge, cause there are definitely dudes like this and they need to be thoroughly killed, but this guys a fake and you know how i know? because there's no way this egocentric douche wouldn't put his face on the picture.. oh yeah, that and because he likes girls yet tells the world about his doo doo problems.
      • rjc5056, on 04/01/2008, -0/+2Here's why he wouldn't actually put his face. He's obviously a white suburban jaggoff dreaming of a life where he has not only black skin, but the instant swagger and charisma that comes with said skin. The current picture, and his asinine name and writing style leave all other twitterers with IQs below 75 who chance across his profile wondering if this fresh dope boy is in fact an African American.
  • DisposableRob, on 04/01/2008, -0/+22This is great. More entertaining than most Twitterers.
  • splinteredmind, on 04/01/2008, -1/+22I wonder if he's one of the 'icy hot stuntaz'?
  • RooDoG, on 04/01/2008, -20/+7MOAR LIKE POOPBOYFRESH AM I RITE?
  • ats314, on 04/01/2008, -0/+5i've never seen so many diggs and so few comments.
    • Hangly, on 04/01/2008, -0/+3The comment system was kinda hosed for me for a while there. Looks like it's ok now though.
  • evanbooth, on 04/01/2008, -1/+17Twitter™: The RSS feed for boredom.
    • Switch07, on 04/01/2008, -6/+3Digg™: The place to repost unoriginal comments, over.... and over........
  • mattyshake, on 04/01/2008, -0/+31This can't be real. What kind of lame-wad likes 2 Fast 2 Furious?
    • tyywebb, on 04/01/2008, -0/+10Minimum requirement: IQ of 75 or below.
    • esteskid, on 04/01/2008, -1/+11if you can't appreciate cinematic masterpieces like 2 Fast 2 Furious, Biker Boyz, and Torque, then your loss
      • rjc5056, on 04/01/2008, -0/+4For that comment, you should have used "you're." You missed a great opportunity for some extra flair in your post.
    • physco827, on 04/01/2008, -2/+1haha......................you said lame-wad.
    • terracottapai, on 04/01/2008, -0/+5^This guy^
  • Krlll, on 04/01/2008, -3/+21What the hell is this?
    736 Diggs.
    Not many comments though.
    Why did I comment?
    Because this is the most useless thing I have ever seen on Digg.
    Something to do with April 1st?
    *Confused*
    • spammishking, on 04/01/2008, -0/+3Sometimes there's just nothing to say that hasn't been said a thousand times
      • NathaMan10101, on 04/06/2008, -0/+1AHHHH*Head implodes*Dam it see what you did my head imploded.dam you jedis and your jedi talk
  • gerardoc, on 04/01/2008, -0/+26According to "Urban Dictionary"

    DopeBoyFresh "Adjective; can also be used as a pronoun normally used to describe a prospering D-boy ie drug-dealer. The term comes from the mentality of the prospering D-boy that since he has an unlimited, constantly replenished profit income from his sales, that he should not have to wear the same outfit/clothing more than once, and all clothing worn more than once should be immediatly discarded. The smell and feel of crisp new clothes straight from the retailer symbolize the dealer's economic status, comfort level, as well as his eye for current trends and sense of materialistic conviction."

    However, this moron is probably some suburban white kid.
  • puddi, on 04/01/2008, -0/+17Sounds like a potential nominee for Douchebag of the Year
  • JoshyLeeArm, on 04/01/2008, -0/+12I refuse to believe this guy needs those *wink wink* jimmyhats.
  • bingobongony, on 04/01/2008, -3/+1Yeah...it really ruins the image of all the OTHER nerds!
  • roanne, on 04/01/2008, -0/+5I've seen worse on Twitter. There are actually some people who post what they're having for breakfast everyday. The same menu EVERY SINGLE DAY.
    • passedoutghost, on 04/01/2008, -4/+2So you don't have the same breakfast more or less everyday?
      • rspeed, on 04/01/2008, -0/+2I do, more or less, but I DON'T POST ABOUT IT LIKE PEOPLE CARE.
  • Hangly, on 04/01/2008, -3/+8Twitter has got to be the dumbest idea for a website ever.
    What am I doing? None of your beeswax!
  • synystar, on 04/01/2008, -0/+7Two tans in four hours? If this isn't fake I finally have a reason to sign up on Twitter. And Shauna. Must know what becomes of the Skeeze....
  • themanmachine, on 04/01/2008, -4/+14I had never heard of this website until I saw this... isn't it enough that a huge chunk of our lives already revolve around electronic media: we're addicted to our computer screens checking Facebook and updating our MySpace profiles; constantly texting with our phones; watching self-obsessed, insecure teens post 'vlogs' on YouTube; hooked on our iPods, mindlessly fed by the same pop songs on repeat; and carrying our laptops everywhere... including to classrooms where all we do is the aforementioned instead of paying attention. Aren't our lives already chained up and subservient to the ever-growing yet compelling machine of social media?

    Yet with all that, some people still don't get enough and need to update others on their ***** schedule? We live in a world that is increasingly becoming more connected but in abstract, meaningless ways. I've seen people here at my college dorm IMing each other when they are just a few doors down the hall. I say this all with much dismay; several years ago I shrugged off the notion that people would actually choose to live like this, bound to the worlds of their trivial little gadgets yet physically walling themselves from others. Looks like humanity didn't have much hope to begin with.
    • whatwhatwhoa, on 04/01/2008, -4/+2way to over analyze. he's just some loser probably.
    • themanmachine, on 04/01/2008, -1/+7I wasn't talking just about him; I was making an observation about society at large.
    • bingobongony, on 04/01/2008, -6/+1Who is the "we" that you are tlaking about? Are you honestly under the impression that most people are like you? Wrong. Most people still spend less than an hour a day on their computer.
    • jawbreaker4fs, on 04/01/2008, -4/+1Take an anti-anxiety pill dude. If that doesn't work move to a 3rd world country where you won't have to be so scared by technology.

  • stevo3131, on 04/01/2008, -0/+25The last three entries are gold:
    "shauna's coming over. gonna break out the (wink wink) jimmy hats."
    "better light a few matches tho!"
    "skeeze left early. her loss!"

    What a douchenozzle
    • passedoutghost, on 04/01/2008, -2/+0Don't be modest. This guy's a ***** wanker.
  • radikul, on 04/01/2008, -0/+3I'm surprised there wasn't a tweet from Scoble on that page.
  • kastlip88, on 04/01/2008, -0/+7I'm just relieved it wasn't the chili mac
  • synystar, on 04/01/2008, -0/+1Kinda funny that this guy is "following" a guy who is "reading 500+ Million Celebration | Spread Firefox (http://tinyurl.com/ytrbt6)"

    I don't get it. Fake?
  • lukifer, on 04/01/2008, -0/+7This just in: stupid people are everywhere.
  • maiku00, on 04/01/2008, -0/+4what a twit
  • ofenza, on 04/01/2008, -0/+10This guy invented the concept at least 5 years ago, and hes the still the best one at it.

    • michif72, on 04/01/2008, -0/+3Priceless
    • mhuggins, on 04/01/2008, -0/+2Holy crap, thank you, I have tears streaming from my eyes laughing at this! :D (Perhaps it's cause I find microblogging completely retarded, and this blog demonstrates my sentiments perfectly?)
  • alienunknown, on 04/01/2008, -0/+3I'd love to see someone use twitter just after they take a colonoscopy prep.
  • bingobongony, on 04/01/2008, -2/+2Everyone should be allowed to use Twitter. It is just that everyone who DOEs use Twitter should not be allowed to breed. (Not that there is much chance in that anyway.)
  • r34z0n, on 04/01/2008, -0/+1Isn't this what everyone outside the geek elite uses the site for in the first place? Short, pointless blog entries to catch the attention of anyone who will listen.
  • dunbone, on 04/01/2008, -1/+4The guy is a douchebag. He tans, he probably has a barbed wire tattoo on his bicep, and probably has bull's balls hanging off of his truck.
  • govsucks, on 04/01/2008, -0/+2Man, this guy hasn't figured out the technology called a belt, his posts are no surprise. Anyone and I mean anyone that has their pants hanging down and their underwear showing automatically gets no respect from me. OOOOO, you've been in prison, they had to take your belt, what a tough thug you are. Pathetic morons! Oh well, at least its fun to watch the baggy pants idiots run from the police as their pants falls around their feet and they trip over them.
  • jackspade, on 04/01/2008, -1/+2stop pushing this garbage. Nobody gives a damn about twitter no matter how many times you post to digg. you missed the social networking site startup bandwagon.
    • fogster, on 04/01/2008, -0/+2Did you read this post? I think you'd find that it supports your point.
  • darkmotion, on 04/01/2008, -0/+1I keep getting flooded with tweets of morons informing everyone they are breathing, or only '200 tweets away from 800 tweets in one night'. It's turning into micro myspace..
  • soulsolution, on 04/01/2008, -0/+4No, seriously - i never understood why Twitter became such a big thing. I mean, who the hell cares what you are doing every hour? I don't know about you guys, but I don't have the time - more importantly, I don't feel like sending ppl hourly updates about me.
  • hernamewas, on 04/01/2008, -0/+5it seems more and more that blog owners have become the elitists of the internet. ***** bloggers, you assholes.

    twitter is just like myspace and facebook now you have NO RIGHT to say that one person should be able to use it over another because your tunneled mind thinks one is more interesting. get over yourself
  • darkism, on 04/01/2008, -6/+1Wow, you people are pricks. Who cares what this guy does with his Twitter?
    Buried as totally ***** lame.
  • 4gamesite, on 04/01/2008, -10/+0http://www.4gamesite.com/cool.html
    character of wow worth $20000!！！！
    • omjeremy, on 04/01/2008, -0/+2It's actually NOT funny like a RickRoll. You're sooo ***** annoying.
    • NathaMan10101, on 04/06/2008, -0/+1Ummm.what?Its not evan remotely funny after april fool's day thus buried.
  • segrev, on 04/01/2008, -0/+6brb i'll comment later
  • wavesmachine, on 04/01/2008, -0/+6$100 says he has 4 popped collars on right now..... douchebag...
  • 42Vindictive, on 04/01/2008, -0/+4When is rap going to become less cool?
  • DeFex, on 04/01/2008, -0/+4Twitter is for twits.
  • saikyan, on 04/01/2008, -0/+4Twitter is just another worthless teen web toy. As if there aren't enough of them.
  • BigLLamasHouse, on 04/01/2008, -0/+1this guys a fake and you know how i know? because there's no way this egocentric douche wouldn't put his face on the picture.. oh yeah, that and because he likes girls yet tells the world about his doo doo problems.
    • bonedead, on 04/01/2008, -1/+1Yeah because talking about your ***** makes you gay, nice logic there buddy.
      • rjc5056, on 04/01/2008, -0/+2I don't think he wast implying homosexuality, just pointing out that someone who lists "lovin the ladies" as his entire Bio should probably know how much stories of his fecal adventures would hurt his chances of lady love. But, then again, the Skeeze did leave early so maybe he's just that dumb...
  • Iggins, on 04/01/2008, -0/+2"where the ***** is the digg? east coast maybe? 24 minutes ago from web "
  • draykonis, on 04/01/2008, -0/+1I'd assume this was fake because he's on the Digg frontpage only a few hours after having begun twittering. He's only updated his Twitter 21 times as of 1148hrs CST and they've all been in the last day. He even mentions digg in one of the most recent.
  • rjc5056, on 04/01/2008, -0/+1He's become self-aware! Latest and easily most priceless entry:
    "where the ***** is the digg? east coast maybe?"

    Because the internet is tangible like that.
  • killthewabbit, on 04/01/2008, -0/+2people still use twitter? i tried it, couldn't find the use. i just don't care what people are doing *that* much. haven't updated it in probably a year, but for some reason i still get emails that a new person (that i don't know) are following me.

    ...following sounds creepy, as well.
  • dkmooninite, on 04/02/2008, -0/+1He's a useless digg troll. Notice how he has nothing before like 2 days ago.
  • AngeloM3, on 04/02/2008, -0/+1I love how he is bringing back 1998 with the sagging pants. He must live under a rock cause every "wanna-be" knows the 'sag' is not in style anymore! tisk tisk dopeboyfish
  • AngeloM3, on 04/02/2008, -0/+2Damn... can't edit my post. But his name is Donny and he's trying to be gangster? Hahaha thats pretty funny
