I disapprove of theft but I do approve of Autotune. The story's details, if you simply must have them, are here.

He's a thief. Cut off his hand!

Amarillo has hipsters, too? Fuck.
1. Jesse Walker 14 years ago
  
  That's a stoner, not a hipster. His big ambition was to be mentioned in High Times.

    Anyone with an ironic moustache, ironic glasses, and an ironic rattail is a hipster, no matter how much dope he smokes. Besides, there's no law saying one can't be both, is there?

      What makes you so sure they're ironic?

        The video doesn't show if he's wearing girl jeans. That would prove it one way or the other.

        Me thinks the dude is just white trash.

    If he wants to be in High Times he needs to be a scantily clad hot chick advertising for seed banks or virtual headshops.

  And we have swingers here too. That's what put Repent Amarillo on the map -- they would go to this swingers or swappers club (I've live here 45 years and never knew until Repent Amarillo told everyone) and confront patrons, videotape cars and note license plates, call spouses, etc. Real assholes.

    Call spouses? Aren't swingers, you know, agreed on it? Those people sound horrible though (Repent people not the swingers).

      Maybe they were calling other people's spouses.

  Yeah, but you've probably never heard of them.

Hilarious.

The video is as ridiculous as this whole Koran burning "controversy."

What kind of morons actually give a f&^% if somebody burns a book? It's just paper, you fricking nutjobs.
1. ? 14 years ago
  
  Sure. Paper...that kills!
2. Sudden 14 years ago
  
  I wonder if Koran publishers, who are presumably Muslim themselves, condone Koran burning as a means of increasing profits.

  I think I smell a fatwa drifting in your direction, infidel.

Hero. We need more people like him. If every single Koran got stolen, there'd be nothing to get upset about, right?
Rhayader 14 years ago

I still say the Bed Intruder Song is the pinnacle of the art form.
1. Spiny Norman 14 years ago
  
  Personally, I prefer the Double Rainbow Song. It's more intense.

What kind of idiotic religious bigot doesn't have a back-up Koran?
1. Rhayader 14 years ago
  
  Seriously, the dude was all talk. Plus I'm not sure where any religion says you can't torch a faux-hippie along with the Koran.

I am ashamed that jayZ made a song about the death of autotune and I didn't know about it. I prayed for the death of autotune here in an earlier thread...

  Brilliant! I missed this thread. Thanks for the re-post. Ah, a good laugh is what I needed right about now.
  
  PS. I too pray for the death of Autotune:-)
2. cynical 14 years ago
  
  Oh, I probably should have posted a link back then, that's what I was thinking of.
jredheadgirl 14 years ago

That's some serious Autotune:-)
