  2. Whore. It was entirely too much work. We (me and Nachlader) could have made one UnNews story out of one attraction in one afternoon instead.--DRStrangesig5.png Sherman.png Fingertalk.png  14:47, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

  3. Semi-self-for. A full month of hard work, yet a very satisfying collaboration with the doctor. I'm glad we somehow got talking about this subject in the first place. --SoIwastolazytolearnGermanic.jpg-kun "whisper sweet nothings into thine ear..." 15:06, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

  16. Symbol for vote.svg For. Nice article. Zeitgeist 15:04, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
Against: 4
  1. Meh. Kinda loses momentum after a while. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} 16:24, Mar 30
    You're right, I should have put Nazis, mass killing and cannibalism first instead of last. I don't believe you for one second. Your against vote here is similar to your strange issues with ambiguously homoerotic images. Strictly political. Have the decency to abstain.--DRStrangesig5.png Sherman.png Fingertalk.png  18:23, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
  2. Against. Hopefully this will work up some more drama. —Sir SysRq (talk) 20:25, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
    Sorry but between this stupid page, my talkpage, necro's talk page, Forum:Gay Images and Forum:VFH needs your attention. Again, It's all been said. Go read up and pretend I'm yelling incoherently at you in all-caps. What's it come to these days with fuckin' prima-donna writers questioning against votes on a nom page! Hmmmmmpf!--DRStrangesig5.png Sherman.png Fingertalk.png  20:44, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
    I think I already read the first one. —Sir SysRq (talk) 21:26, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
  3. Against too many spam banners that fuck up my screen (albeit a widescreen, I've got junk on the sides to keep it at a normal-ish 15" and the screen doesn't quite cut it...) Vain reason but I'm hormonal, and it's a better reason than "Ick!" -- Luverly - (Contribs) (Talk) Heart anim.gif Brainwashed to be British and then some. Certifiably MORE British than You. Grammar Nazi, Mum , BFF & NotM, CUN , GMP . - Perkele! 15:51, 19 Apr
  4. Weak Against Starts off strong but the last few just drag on and the punchline isn't all that great. Really the article would be better without the final few if you can't make them more unique. I mean, the end of the Religious section is perfect, there really isn't much need to go further except for that great banner after the Nazi section. --Sir DJ ~ Irreverent OZ! Noobaward.jpg Wotm.jpg Unbooks mousepad.PNG GUN.png 11:26, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
Complaints: 1
  1. What the hell?. A guy gives a fine against vote, and you have to go all fucking ad hominem on him? Dude, that pisses me off almost enough to give you an against vote for that. But I won't. I know I'm new here, but that behavior is retarded. Anyway, this article never made me laugh. It wasn't awful, but it was way too long to hold anyone's interest, especially when the joke is the same thing over and over; conservatism, american stereotypes, etc. It just felt like some guy with a childish anti-American vendetta and a sock puppet. (drama) Djdorama 22:27, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
    The article is too lengthy TO HOLD YOUR ATTENTION yet you've formed a solid opinion about its contents. It's another triumph for ADD and another author that's never going to spit out another gem like this ever again. It's just not worth the confused puppy looks from people who want bite size Rice Chex and simpleton jokes. The same thing over and over again? Maybe to someone who breezed through it. You looked at the comments in here, viewed the article with a biased eye and did Uncyclopedia the wondrous favor of trying to kill a good article because a co-author offended your sensibilities on a goddamn talk page. Bravo! --DRStrangesig5.png Sherman.png Fingertalk.png  22:59, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
    He was joking. This is Wikipedia. We do that sometimes, when Jimbo's not looking. --Pleb SYNDROME CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!) 22:43, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
    Ok since i completely dont understand that comment i might as well leave. but if thats suggesting you think i didnt know this article is a joke................Djdorama 23:31, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
Comments
  1. Symbol neutral vote.svg Abstain.. I can see where it is coming from and where it is going and would have voted 'for' except I didn't like the comments about Necropaxx's vote against. That looks too personal for in here and in this context. --Romartus 20:44, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
    I think the real problem is that Necropaxx went to a creation museum and liked it. Seriously though, I have no idea what I'm talking about. IronLung 21:18, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
    I'm a fucking conspiracy theorist and known neurotic. I see a for vote delivered to another lame "Obama thinks he's god" joke article (that was tossed together in an afternoon) from an announced conservative and an against vote for my lengthy and heavily researched article that rips on American conservatism from start to finish. Either way, I'm an unhappy asshole. All I know is that you'd have to lay a turd in here to get an against vote from me because I at least respect others sense of humor and ADD to abstain 90% of the time, is it so much to ask in return?--DRStrangesig5.png Sherman.png Fingertalk.png  21:34, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment. I don't wanna totally wham on you, but this makes no sense. The whole "lay a turd" thing is dumb. VFH is supposed to show the best articles in all of Uncyclopedia. If you don't think it's good, vote against. Only voting against on the worst of them and Abstaining on the rest isn't a good idea, even if you want to get on everyone's good side or whatever. Djdorama 22:29, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
    • That's because you lack the capacity to "wham" me here. Guess what, You are not the arbiter of all that is funny. At least I have enough sense to recognize that I'm not either and not vote down articles that others enjoy without a good reason.--DRStrangesig5.png Sherman.png Fingertalk.png  23:09, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Hey people! Chill out! No insulting on my nomination! People can vote against if they really want to. No need to make a fuss about it. —Sir SockySexy girls.jpg Mermaid with dolphin.jpg Tired Marilyn Monroe.jpg (talk) (stalk)Magnemite.gif Icons-flag-be.png GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 23:24, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
    • Ok, fine. There are annoying things in his comment above that don't make any sense but whatever I don't actually care that much haha.Djdorama 23:28, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
  • If any agruing is to be going on, it must be on MY talkpage, and nowhere else. I also want 3 beautifully rewritten articles from all those who wish to argue during UN:CW. Then, I want an apple pie. Just for myself, though. Serious. Otherwise, I'll report everyone for eating my cuntymints and for being an illegal douche. Understood? And DrStrange, did you get the name from Dr. Strangelove or the Marvel Comics Dr. Strange? I wanna know. --MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 00:24, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
    • Both items were thought of separately. I realized many years after the fact that insisting on "Dr" as part of my DJ name was an homage to Dr Demento. Another project (film) that never got off the ground was called "Johnny Strange". I couldn't go with any name that sounded like Dr Johnny Fever so Dr Strange it was. I do like comics, just not fanatically.--DRStrangesig5.png Sherman.png Fingertalk.png  00:32, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
      • Okay, just needed to know. But I'm serious about the other part of my comment. Tell Djdorama that, too. That should diffuse all drama. --MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 00:35, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
  • HEY GUISE. This here article delves in on the wordy content, rather than images because the whole thing's intended as a frisky 'lil thing called an 'UnBook'. Unless you be liking that Dr. Seuss fellow, you've obviously gone to the wrong article to expect coozy little images to take your mind off the hard, toiling, sweating job that is 'reading words'. Now, bear in mind that, as the co-writer, a British person had to go go on a month of typing like an a merkin. Is the nationality of everyoneeee above this post the same or it is just a coincidence? Decide when you've read the article honestly. Even if you find your eyes constantly drifting towards something else that you obviously have more time for, say like, OHMYGOD personal stuff that you read on the internet. Lighten up, folks! --SoIwastolazytolearnGermanic.jpg-kun "whisper sweet nothings into thine ear..." 13:33, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
    • Goddammit man. Didn't we all just stop the drama shit and suddenly you come in here with this? Just because I say the article's too long you get all defensive and say I have ADD (in Dr Strange's case) or that I must HATE READING OMFG (your case). Also, are you seriously saying we're biased because we are American? Are you seriously saying that? brb getting banned haha Djdorama 21:06, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
      • Okay then - let's assume it really is the length: all VFH articles have to be no longer than 3'10" long and at least more than 5 cubits short. Articles that are wider than a single yard (Queen's measurements) are redundant, but have to exceed the minimun 30 centimetres or it's kaput. All articles are measured by a professional tailor with the "ooh cold" metal part of his measuring tape. I personally like my articles being 5 inches long in flaccid state, but has the willingness to extend to a foot long, like an awesome hot dog addressed with onions. Jesus, I was kidding from the start. It seems humour isn't getting my point across, so I'll come out with it - everyone clearly has their right to vote either way, and either way I have no beef with it. I slightly dispute my co-writer's decision to respond to Necropaxx directly because, well, he put it in the against column and the wall of text that he put in there resembles a huge bouncer, willing to duff up anyone who dares to vote against. I believe the authors should be allowed to defend their article on the VFH page, but they should deter fear of the comment being lost among others, and just post it here in this already-bulging comments box. Personal comments are a biggie. If you don't want to vote on that context, than that's great; your decision. But if Adolf Hitler were to put an oil on canvas that he did in his spare time, y'know not shouting, and decided to put it on display and asked people if it were good enough for the Louvre, I would not respond with "UUHHHH NO, YOU KILLED ALL THOSE JEWS, REMEMBER????". That seems irrelevant, I had nothing to do with it. I wasn't involved in WWII. But as I said, even if a strange elephant is outside your house and you believe the author of this article has something to do with it somewhat, you should still be able to vote whatever which way and you can stick by it. Now, who wants to be expelled from school? I know I do. --SoIwastolazytolearnGermanic.jpg-kun "whisper sweet nothings into thine ear..." 12:55, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
  • RIGHT EVERY ONE SHUT UP. Or I'm going to ban Dexter111344. :-) MrN MrN9000SouthParksmall.jpg 23:12, Mar 31

Comment Stop with the drama. Sheesh. There is only room for one Diva in this town, and it's me. Seriously, I'm like a genius or something. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 01:12, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

What are you talking about? This is my favourite VFH nomination ever! • Spang • ☃ • talk • 09:43, 02 Apr 2009
Wait. This is VFH? Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 09:53, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
Why do people always have to rush to the drama comment when all I'm doing is having a nice talk? =((((((((( --SoIwastolazytolearnGermanic.jpg-kun "whisper sweet nothings into thine ear..." 10:15, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
The wall of text above makes me twitchy. When I get twitchy, I get banny. Firefox says that "banny" isn't a word. Firefox is makin' me twitchy, too. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 16:54, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
Dude, just because it's a wall of text doesn't mean it's going "Right, you're a prick. You're a prick, and you're a prick. You're a prick too. You: a prick and finally, you're a prick". I was presenting my neutral view on voting going-abouts to give a net to cover for DrStrange et al. There's less drama here than Scrubs! =(((((((((((((((((((( --SoIwastolazytolearnGermanic.jpg-kun "whisper sweet nothings into thine ear..." 19:46, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
How about writing "Idiot" in the edit summary? Go and look at the other noms on VFH. Does this kinda shit happen elsewhere? Why is that? Because experienced users know when to shut up. Do so. MrN MrN9000SouthParksmall.jpg 19:51, Apr 2
I guess describing my language typset for the edit is lost on some people. --SoIwastolazytolearnGermanic.jpg-kun "whisper sweet nothings into thine ear..." 21:43, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
You could've just said "Not featuring a good well-written article because some people find it too long? Only featuring short articles that are really funny but don't have a concept that leaves much to expand on? I'd rather want some variation, thank you." or something like that. As it seems that some people don't take the effort of reading a block of text. —Sir SockySexy girls.jpg Mermaid with dolphin.jpg Tired Marilyn Monroe.jpg (talk) (stalk)Magnemite.gif Icons-flag-be.png GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 20:28, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
