If nothing else, you can be glad you're not these guys. (http://www.heavy.com/comedy/2010/07/the-20-worst-internet-losers/)

Jonah is currently unemployed and hosting a public access call-in baseball show, where he is relentlessly pranked.

Host of reality show is a job, so he's not actually unemployed.

Hubble is not on Earth.

Also, about half of the people on the list are mentally challenged, so if making fun of handicapped people is your thing, you can go for it.

I declare the authour of this article loser 21, though.

Yeah, some of that was pretty cruel.

I thought that Goronchev kid talking about 'battle videos' or whatever was kind of funny though.

Oh, America – land of the free, home of the slutty. When Tila Nguyen’s parents came to this land from Singapore, all they wanted was to make a better life for their family by working hard. So what happened to their daughter to make her one of the nuttiest attention whores the Internet has ever seen? Lord only knows. First coming to fame as the toast of Myspace (which is not anything to be proud of), Tila has gotten crazier and crazier over the years, from her bisexual reality show A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila to her recent engagement to dead heiress Casey Johnson and complete Twitter meltdown

Definately detecting a hint of jealousy here.

Okay, if you’re like 50% of dudes, you’ve probably wished that your crank was bigger. But here’s a sad piece of news: a big dong doesn’t mean a happy life. Take it from Jonah Falcon. Declared by many to have the biggest Caucasian male unit in the world (a staggering thirteen point five inches), this chubby schlub has continually refused to use his endowments for porn, instead failing to even find employment as an online video game reviewer. Jonah is currently unemployed and hosting a public access call-in baseball show, where he is relentlessly pranked.

Ok, much more than a hint.

The fact that she’s a transgender woman is the least of her worries – more cogent to our discussion is the fact that upon the sale of her website HappyPuppy in 2002, she used the million plus dollars  that she raked in to buy a shack and completely fill it with video games, anime and various other weeaboo bullpuckey. Combine that with her refusal to ever work a real job, instead depending on the male unit in her three-way polyamorous marriage, and you’ve got a real winner.

So wait... he's annoyed at her for successfully selling her website, buying what she wants to and relying on her husband?  Uh... what?

State-run asylums with involuntary commital. Public service or inhumane? After reading this article, freedom to use YouTube is inhumane for some.

Autism is hardly a mental handicap and asperger's is even less so. The only time it's really crippling is in low functioning people, and even then they can still be active in society.

That's hardly half of the people, anyway.

They forgot Deeker, who's almost as bad as CWC.

Anyway, CWC still keeps his crown as the most epic fail the internet has ever seen. Keep in mind none of these people are considered failures because of handicaps or anything like that, but because they tried to achieve something or trick people and failed epically at it.
If you read the full story behind Christ-Chan you'll know what I mean.

Autism actually is a mental handicap, do you ever read books or go to school?

Not that all of those people were clearly named as having mental handicaps. It's just clear in many cases that they do. That last guy, Chris, is almost certainly suffering from mental retardation.

It depends - it can be fairly serious.  It's a spectrum, after all.

Do you? A "mentally retarded" person is someone with an IQ under 70. Not someone who has problems with social interaction.

That Chris guy is just a gullible moron who uses autism as an excuse.

Given what I know of CWC, I would say that his mental illness doesn't miligate his personality. You can still be a total jerk and a bad person if you have autism.

Ah the internet, an endless depository of varying amounts of information, everything from constantly evolving theories of existence, the latest most important news, multitudes of expressive human ideologys, and stubs of many useless internet culture.

This is the seedier side of the intertubes; take it too seriously and you see yourself developing an unhealthy problem that can only be cured by taking a step back and examining the real world. And that real world is actually created and painted by those real other people participating in more real and interesting aspects of life, blah blah blah INTERNET, SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS.

God, this is what I hate about the Internet. No, it's not the losers... it's the people who actually gather up, look for losers, and put up a big sign or site saying, "Hey guys, that guy is such a loser".

I feel a little sad seeing all these people get tracked down and forced to delete every bit of evidence of themselves on the Internet. What's worse, there's all these sites and Encyclopedia Dramatica insulting them everywhere. I'd feel sorry for all the kids these days getting cyberbullied.

If I understood correctely someone there got mocked relentlessly for NOT being a pornography actor?

These sites are dispecable, as are the people writing them. Not too fond of the OP either.

Still this is not at all exclusive to the internet. Take any random tabloid, talkshow or other brainless form of media mankind has vomited up, and you see the same garbage. Though at least those dont annoy me with popup advertisement and stupid random videos playing in the corner of my screen.

Quit linking these sites here, forumgoers. Theres plenty other boards out there for you to 'troll'.

Oh God I feel like puking and how the hell she managed to make 7000 calories salad??? Food like this reminds me of one picture I saw. I thought it was fake since I refused to believe someone would eat hot dog-on-a-stick with CHOCOLATE CHUNKS.

It's pretty clear what he meant, but if we're arguing (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=define%3A+mental&btnG=Search) definitions... (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=define%3A+handicap&btnG=Search)

Of course, the wikipedia page 'mental handicap' redirects not to 'mental retardation' as you seem to imply, but to 'developmental disability' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_handicap#Causes_of_developmental_disabilities), which includes autism under its umbrella of possible causes.

Just because you have an IQ higher than 70 doesn't mean you don't have mental problem.  I mean, savants can have IQs much higher than average and still struggle in day to day life.
