Side's post is like an MC Escher drawing. It'll take you places, but you'll still end up asking "where"?

Okay guys, when you see something as mind-blowingly stupid as that, at LEAST give it a Google search.

Know Your Meme wrote: “Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?” is a trainwreck of English grammar that first appeared as a reply post on 4chan’s /v/ board and subsequently spread across the rest of 4chan boards as well as other popular sites. Once this indecipherable phrase gained a solid foothold on 4chan and YouTube, it began to disseminate across other internet forums and social networks, including Twitter and Facebook.

The reply post, which read “Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?”, first appeared under a discussion thread about an upcoming Wii game called The Conduit. The original post featured a YouTube video of someone playing the beta version of the game and a short review about Nintendo’s latest release.
Both intrigued and stupefied by its utter lack of coherence, 4chan users began making reply posts either in an attempt to decipher the phrase or to simply instigate the ridiculous phenomenon. Social networking sites were no exception to this 4chan flood material; the phrase became widespread and mild lulz ensued on Twitter as well as YouTube.

:lol: I'd known about that phrase for a while. Considered mentioning where it came from but I didn't want to spoil anyone's fun.

I didn't either (I was having a lot of the fun myself) but it got to the point of ridiculous.

There are some funny memes out there, but many of them are forced and stupid. Just because some person typed something dumb (probably on purpose) and repeated it 100 times in the hopes it would catch on doesn't make it funny.

The fact that the BALLZ are right up in your face just make it so great.

(and for the record I have never once visited 4chan and youtube comments just depress me)

did anyone watch Parks And Recreation last night? The part where Ron is looking through Andy's toolbox and he's like "a cartridge... that says 'sonic'...and 'hedgehog' on it..." was hilarious!
