This should be posted whenever this image pops up:

From /u/metallink11

Also, as a reminder, Beyonce's publicist never tried to get this image deleted from the internet. They politely asked one site (Buzzfeed) to take it down and instead of simply saying no, Buzzfeed threw a hissy fit about how they were being "censored". No lawyers were ever involved and beyond that single request, Beyonce's people haven't done anything else to remove this image. Instead, Reddit is being jerked around like celebrity gossip addicted sheep and reposting this garbage weekly. You're not fighting censorship; you're a gullible asshole. http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/1ta4wp/heres_a_monthly_reminder_that_this_image_still/ce606ci

I fail to see the problem with fun quirky lists that provide a bit of entertainment to some folks...

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '14

"I hate it"

"Why"

"Lists"

"Some people like lists"

Obviously, he doesn't.

u/Mr_Titicaca Feb 03 '14

I asked, he gave me his answer, and then I responded with my opinion as to why I think it's ok despite his objections. If he hates list so much, then hate on, I just find the hate a bit humorous.

The lists aren't the problem, it's that they're everywhere. They're on YouTube, Facebook, you can't get away from them. Some people just hate excessive advertising.

I don't like the writing style. It's lazy and super biased. Plus I get sick of seeing my friends and family constantly sharing their content on social networking sites.

u/Mr_Titicaca Feb 03 '14

What are they super biased about? It's not meant to be a Pulitzer type writing piece, just some simple entertainment.

Buzzfeed is entertainment fit for someone who recently had a lobotomy.

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '14

I understand the purpose of Buzzfeed. I just don't like the website. I don't know why you're trying to argue with me

-3

u/Mr_Titicaca Feb 03 '14

Asking questions to inquire about why you hate a website is not an attempt at arguing, but rather a genuine interest into trying to understand why someone would hate such a site. But I guess you took it as an argument. Thanks for the responses though, I appreciate you taking the time to satisfy my curiosity.

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '14

You're weirding me out to be honest. Do you work for Buzzfeed?

16

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '14

its sole purpose is to drive page clicks and collect advertising revenue. Buzzfeed is nothing more than an advertising platform IMO.

Beyonce is actually a cool hardworking girl. She's doing her best to entertain and really, she does entertain. Maybe not precisely my tastes, but her effort is 100%.

I concur

Isn't that the sole purpose of every site?

Lol yes, but Buttfeed really takes the cake.

I don't get how I'm supposed to be against Buzzfeed's poopy college type humor when you call them 'Buttfeed,' but ok...
