In the conclusion of what is probably the saddest meme of all time (see: internet gangs up on little girl, her father hits her, she gets put in foster care), Jessi Slaughter's father, Gene Lionhardt, has passed away at the age of 53. Goofnight, sweet prince. (via boingboing.net)
Just a reminder that the people on the other end of your manhunts are still people with families and kids. If there's even the slightest chance that you've found the wrong person, think twice before attacking him/her or posting his/her information on the internet.
Jessi Slaughter and her dad made another memorable appearance online this morning. There is speculation that her dad even slapped her during the latest outburst, which was recorded by Jessi's friends in a tinychat room.
YouTube user Kenneth14132 wants his haters to know that Carrie Mashall is a bitch, and also (at 1:30) that he uses a leopard print hair dryer to achieve his perfectly coiffed look. He also doesn't quite understand how “hatin'” works as all the “hatin'” comments on the video are his own, posted under his own user name.
This is why 4chan has gone family friendly. “Cyberbully” victim Jessi Slaughter told her story on Good Morning America alongside her father. Consequences will never be the same.
In the wake of the “You Dun Goofed” debacle, 4chan has decided to clean up its act and become a family friendly site full of kittens and rainbows. Consequences will never be the same again.
Let the remixes begin! I guarantee this will be stuck in your head all day.
Your new favorite video: “Consequences will never be the same.” Jessi Slaughter, aka Jessica Leonhardt, got trolled by both 4chan and Tumblr for posting a “fuck the haters” video. Here, her father lets them know they messed with the WRONG DAUGHTER, explaining how he's “backtraced the emails.” If you want more backstory, see Gawker's finger-waggy write-up. Really, though, just watch this.
