Worst. Post. Ever. If you had to write the worst possible post for Mefi what would it be? The post that would be the biggest stinker of all time. The post that everyone would point to as the nadir of Mefi. The post that would see your name mocked across the internet for all eternity. Surely we can do better than a pair of scientoligists getting engaged.

this site: http://www.worth1000.com/ - is the coolest. aewsome photshop contests...you can't believe that some of this stuff isn't for real. my favorite is the one where they take a photgraph of nicole kidman and make her bald. so funny!!! enjoy!!!! (oh, and first post...be nice) (and sorry, i don't know how to do html because i'm not a coder) (also i don't know how to do a sarch so hopfully this hasn't been posted before but even if it has it still totaly and it's worth posting again!!!)

A self-link (that I tried posting before and was deleted) to my geocities page (with dancing background and midi Pro-America music) that exists only to sell my two books: (1) about how gay people are affront to Christianity and why we only need to elect Bush for life to save us and (2) a book about Peak Oil and why it isn't coming.

That would sufficiently piss off everyone.

How about this leading to a link to Bonsai Kittens leading to goatse leading to Ebaums World leading to a long usenet exchange with a Nigerian email scammer?

Maybe it's just because I've known about it since my teens, but has anyone seriously never heard of the church of the subgenius? Or bonsai kittens?

These seem like very nice people. They want to know what your favorite color is.

dios - I'd susbcribe to that in a moment if you teamed up with AlexReynolds in a Point/Counterpoint style monthly dust off. WITH KNIVES.

Bush has been kicking you liberal pussies into touch - and about fucking time, man. Iraq is a success. Bush tells Europe how it is. In his address to the nation he put the fear of almighty god into the towelheads! Shit yeah! Hey amberglow - you're my bitch now!!! ROFL!!!!

please god, don't actually click on those links

If and only if home movies of TC and KH knobbing one another are stolen and released to the general public will my interest level reach the cusp of "meh". And that's only 'cos I am bored of the same 6 seconds from "The Gift".

Double marks if they start shouting weird scientologist stuff ("Banish my Thetans! Banish them!" etc) half way through the proceedings.

This site lets you do whatever you want. Cool.

posted by iconomy 17 June | 13:48

Worst post ever? That's easy. Just find something of narrow interest. Doesn't matter how good or complete the link is, you'll have half your comments chiding you for the boring post. You can get loads of "worst post ever"s with pretty much any Meffy post.

Which brings me to my point: Anyone who says "worst post ever" in response to an FPP is a fucking prick who should have their face torn off.

Seriously, as soon as that phrase gains currency here, I am the fuck out. It's the gateway phrase for the sort of assholishness that ruined Meffy for me.

Sorry about all the blue language. I care. So I swear.

Yikes, that Hugh Janus can be a big asshole sometimes, can't he?

[I'm a little embarrassed by my tone. Apologies to all. Please don't hate me; I don't want to leave.]

I wish someone would do something about how fat I am.

Not a specific post, but just wanted to add that the kiss of death for any MetaFilter post is to mention that whatever you're linking to is the next All Your Base Are Belong To Us, or to say that it's the funniest thing you've ever seen.

Most of my FPPs are of narrow interest and I haven't had these problems.

It's kind of tempting but then I've heard that when you get a time out it's a bit like that planet that Supergirl got banished to, where you only have a druken Peter O'Toole for company.

Forget about spending all that money on your own domain, you could just sign up with Geocities for a free homepage. You don't even have to learn HTML or anything. I don't know how they can afford to just give it away but I'd sign up quick before they come to their senses.

Hey here is a news story that you have seen a million places already, that is in fact one of the lead stories on every single English language news source on the planet, and that has been posted and discussed all over the blogosphere, but I am making it an FPP anyway to show you all how good and true my politics are and to save the world by posting on Metafilter.
