Whats up with this forum and 9/11?
 

Seems like every poll I go to always has some option for bush doing in the towers?

Whats up with that? I'm not familiar with American culture but is this some kinda

meme?

Just curious

It’s the forum equivalent of legacy items :p

The Bush / Towers Poll Meme was coined by forum user Purist in 2010 and popularized by volume shitposter Japan in the same year. Popular variations include riffs on the lyrics of the Immortal Technique song "Bush Knocked Down The Towers", particularly the rather hilarious turn of American Black English "Bin Laden didn't blow up the projects". Intrinsic to the meme is the required reply to any poll which does not utilize the meme on this board: "no bush/towers", and a refusal to cooperate further in such thread, which is deemed to be malformed.

The refusal to cooperate part tickled me

never forget

Was still a somewhat relevant topic back in 2010?

You think just the towers fell then?

It's just a very ... rough part of our culture here. When you first start out here as a n00b you see your first poll or two with the 9/11 options, and you're like WTF is wrong with this place?

Then you see more, and more, and over time you can't help but adjust to seeing them. Eventually they become normal, and then you see some n00b post a poll without a 9/11 option, and you're like "n00b, even I know you're new here" ... and you feel like a seasoned forum member.

And then before you know it you're the one yelling at the n00bs, to have some respect for our god damn culture when they post!

... or maybe that's just me.:)

i bet you feel pretty silly right now
