Culture Buzz How are you feeling today? Is February fab or drab for you so far? Leave a response in the comments with an animated GIF that sums up your state of mind! Let's do this thing.
Culture Buzz I'd see this movie. (via 4Chan)
This train-wreck of a sentence appeared as a response in a 4chan thread about “animals that are bad-ass”. It's no “Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?”, but it's close. (via boards.4chan.org)
Tech Buzz Last night hacktivist group Anonymous carried out a massive DDOS attack on multiple government websites, along with the RIAA and MPAA's websites. We were lucky enough to be sitting in on the 4chan thread as it was happening (NSFW language, obviously).
Style Buzz As you may expect, 4chan's fashion board offers up a wealth of sage and well-reasoned advice.
Random obscenities have never looked so pretty. (via boards.4chan.org)
Politics Buzz Is /b/ looking a little different today? As part of FAT Lab's “Occupy Internet” exhibit, 4chan's /b/ not only has the gif protester script installed, but a full re-skin.
Culture Buzz Great memes take a little time to develop; growing more sophisticated with age. With very little context given, here are some choice iterations of a storytelling twist meme.

Ninety users of 4chan's anonymous /b/ board took the Political Compass quiz. The results may surprise you.
Plus, an update about how they're doing now. Let's probably not concern ourselves overmuch about the veracity of this tale. (via reddit.com)
Culture Buzz Reuters' Ant DeRosa interviews Cole Stryker, author of the controversial new book Epic Win For Anonymous. According to Tumblr user brookemarine, Stryker's book is already being used in Human Comm & Culture class at NYU! (via soupsoup.tumblr.com)
Movie Buzz George Lucas hates us. Some of the anons at 4chan give us a taste of what changes to expect when the Star Wars Trilogy is released on Blu-Ray.
Culture Buzz Did you know that every time someone buys a Guy Fakwes mask, to self-identify with the decentralized hacker collective known as Anonymous, Warner Brothers gets paid? The image of Anonymous is nothing more than another revenue stream to Time Warner. Time to abandon the dumb “V for Vendetta” image.
Ever wonder what takes place on /b/, 4chan's infamous random board? Well, look no further! Seriously, look no further. It's not pretty.
Culture Buzz Probably NSFW. I can't guarantee that you haven't seen a few of these before. Since I found them on /b/, however, I can guarantee healthy amounts of misogynistic nihilism tempered by unexpected moments of sincerity. I have no idea who the artists are (hey there tineye).
Someone called Rule 34 on Snooki, and for the first time in memory, /b/ balked. I wholeheartedly agree with my /b/rothers on this one! (Via & Via)

This is the latest declaration of war from Anonymous, this time on Louis Vuitton. Nothing is safe. Not even your purses.
