    And by the way, ‘WTF’ is an abbreviation, not a fucking acronym and should be written as W.T.F.you grammar school dropout.

    Just so you folks know, I am not the creator of the comic; I just found it and posted it here. Any misspellings and grammatical errors are that person’s, not mine.

    Still, it’s hilarious, isn’t it?

    on a side note about comment #14 from one ‘Writer’

    I went to your site. You’re going to blog about being a blogger. My, how…postmodern. Yet incredibly boring.

    good luck with that.

    not bad, but the “effected”=>affected misspelling almost ruined it for me. also, was it supposed to be “Mary got worse then John” or “Mary got worse _than_ John” ?

  44. Posted November 20, 2007 at 10:28 pm | Permalink

    Me and my wife play wow together so this really is how things go around my house. Well, maybe not quite like that. Hilarious…

    You are an idiot.

    “And by the way, ‘WTF’ is an abbreviation, not a fucking acronym and should be written as W.T.F.you grammar school dropout.”

    I find it highly amusing that you are wrong about this. ‘WTF’ is an acronym, not an abbreviation.

    Did you even bother to *read* your reference links?
    And if so, did you comprehend the information?

    @Clown Soup

    Please show me one person that actually types “W.T.F.” or “R.O.F.L.”

    Yes, it’s grammatically correct to have the periods in there, but you really need to find something more significant to fuss over.

    Anyways, coming from someone who has never played WoW, that comic is funny and sad at the same time. I’m sure it’s a fun game all in all, but to think people would go to such lengths just to be able to play it…

    This comic blows dick. Maybe if the person who made it could use some actual humor and not spell common words wrong, it would be better. Fucking stumble button wasting my time taking me to this site. May as well make it worth my time and bash your site for blogging it. Thumbs down!

    The problem with a game like warcraft ( or similar MMO’s ) is that it becomes an escape from real life for many people, the toon is more realistic then it appears to be. I know a “real world” couple that plap together, and it did not improve their relationship :D or social life for that matter.
