Stop cutting yourself, stop cutting yourself.

Oy. Well, Trashy has given us a fair share of face-palm worthy, depressing threads over the last few days, and even though I've not had much time to spend in here, I reckon I can beat them all for most depressing story of 2013. Seriously, this is where we are at as a civilization right damn now. Brace yourselves.

So a photographer managed to get a sneaky shot of Justin Bieber (why do all depressing stories start with this little prick?) smoking what looked like a joint. Here's the pic, in fact;



So, an 18 year old boy smokes a joint. Stop the fucking press. But, OK, fair enough, he is the world's most famous 18 year old boy, but what possible harm could come from that picture? Answer would be - lots of harm. Lots of self harm.

Amazingly, all of Bieber's bright, intelligent young fans get suckered in AGAIN by the internet. So if they're not being told to shave their heads for Bieber, they're being told to cut their wrists for him instead. And they are actually doing it.

I got plenty of pictures on my Facebook page of various kids doing this shit, but I couldn't cut and paste. If you pardon the expression.

So there ya go. 2013. Kids cutting themselves and taking pictures of it on the internet because Justin Bieber smoked weed. Never has the "I Don't Want to Live on This Planet Anymore" meme been so apt. Happy New Year, everyone.

Well, I suppose so long as they only cut themselves I can't really complain. Off I go to 4chan to see if I can get a #anhero4beiber hashtag trend going. Some dark part of me wants to see iff some of these idiots will actually off themselves over that talentless little twerp.



Come on, kids. If you do this, Beiber will <3 you 4-evah lol!

Found this:



And once again 9gag takes the blame. But as usual, 4chan is unappeased even with this level of anarchy. Get your lawyers on THIS, Beibs:



I fucking love this cesspool we call the internet sometimes.

Great, isn't it? What is the difference between 4chan and 9gag?

There's a gif that illustrates the point perfectly, but I'm not sure I should post it here. Basically, it has a lake labeled "the internet" and a naked dude labeled "4chan" riuns and jumps into the lake, shitting in midair as he does, and a dog jumps in right behind him. The dog is labeled "9gag". 4chan reeeeeaaaaallllyyyy hates 9gag because 4chan is known for anonymously creating most of the memes that have become part of the lexicon of internet culture and 9gag takes those anonymous creations and slaps a watermark on them to claim them as their own and then sells them on t-shirts and whatnot for profit. It's basically a Disney-fied 4chan. so whenever they launch a raid 4channers always claim to be representing 9gag just to direct the negative attention that way for shits and giggles.
