That was kind of pointless, but the thought of (real) Biden reading dick jokes about himself makes me smile.

That's not even the first time the real Joe Biden has pointed out he's a Corvette guy. I wonder if The Onion does it just to wind him up.

If The Onion is having its fictional characters do Reddit AMAs, one or both of those sites has jumped the shark. (Although I DO have a few questions for "Local Man") That said, join the club. I did.

Julian Assange and Joe Biden got into a major flame war on Usenet back in the early 90s. Things got personal, then escalated when Jullian hacked Joe's .plan file to include a ASCII animation showing him blowing a goat. Personally I blame the unix admin for not setting up permission on home directories correctly.

That was kind of pointless, but the thought of (real) Biden reading dick jokes about himself makes me smile. That's nothing compared to how hilariously cute it was when Jill Biden inadvertently told a dick joke about him in front of a crowd.

I'm surprised the GOP didn't hammer Obama for the AMA he did. "President answers questions from pedophilies and perverts" with links to r/Creepshots, r/jailbait, and a million other sleeve subs. I can't respect Reddit after learning about that.

Charlemagne In Sweatpants: ""President answers questions from pedophilies and perverts" with links to r/Creepshots, r/jailbait, and a million other sleeve subs. I can't respect Reddit after learning about that." In that regard, I look at them the same way I look at web hosts who really strongly believe in free speech. If you really stand for stuff like that, you're going to find yourself serving and defending a lot of scoundrels. Of course, they eventually backed down.

Diamond Joe, cruising for chicks on Reddit Going fishing for dates is the wrong metaphor. It's not as though he has to try to attract people. He's got enough raw sexual magnetism that something analogous to gravitational collapse has taken place. At this point his event horizon extends several kilometers beyond his own body. People who approach closer than that are drawn in, never to escape. Why would they want to?

I can't respect Reddit after learning about that. It's sort of a microcosm of the internet, though- anyone can make a subreddit for anything, so it's not like days of yore when an admin would actually manually set up new forums. Reddit's a walled city that allows pretty much anything that's on the greater internet. I find it useful for keeping up on some odd cares and niche hobbies I have, and it's replaced my RSS as my newsfeed of choice. As far as quality content goes, the upvote/downvote system caters to impulse and instant gratification. The only method I've ever seen that works is the modest one-time paywall method used here and on Something Awful.

I'd like to see Reddit actually jump the shark by having Henry Winkler do an AMA entirely in the character of The Fonz.

He was recently on the How to Do Everything podcast ( on how to be cool while waiting for someone at say a diner) and he did the Fonz at the end.

Joe Biden, Diamond or otherwise, is the person I most want to hang out with and I remember reading he thinks The Onion's take is funny except he's cranky about the car because he's a Corvette guy. Seeing this all actually happen that seems to confirm it just makes it even better.
