Stop Calling me a Homo!

Troll bait is a term used to describe any individual who unknowingly attracts trolls or easily falls prey to such scheme. Stop Calling Me a Homo is a YouTube remix meme that reveals an interesting hierarchy of food chain behind troll-baits who render themselves exploitable, trolls whose only function is to troll and alas, a breed of cannibal trolls who prefer to troll their own kinds.

F*cking Magnets, How Do They Work?

“F***ing Magnets, How Do They Work? is a lyrical reference to the 2009 single Miracles by the Insane Clown Posse, an American hip hop duo from Detroit, Michigan. The song describes the wonders of the universe and an appreciation for nature’s beauty, while angrily eschewing science. Among the most quotable lines can be heard at 1:52, “f***ing magnets, how do they work,” which instantly became a popular catchphrase on the web.
