My vote is for the Opebo vs. threads, although they've been around fopr a while. They're just so bloody irritating. That goes for all left extreme vs. right extreme threads, actually.

Currently, options 3 and 4 are tied in my book. I'll vote 3.

Is pronunciation really a trend?  I mean, it's only a few days old.

It is kinda neat that I started a trend, even though I never intended to.

opebo's constant attempts to outdue his last desperate lunge for attention and Jfraud's deficient processing capacity and ultra-partisanship. Also, a rash of wildly stupid posts being made by all sorts of posters.

The attention bubble was started by States Rights, "opebo watch" thread.

All of them and I usually end up making a parody thread to show them how stupid it is but the point is never reached.

The most irritating trend is those annoying colored bracelets that everyone's wearing. Are those people so naive that they think there's a pro-cancer lobby? Everyone hates cancer! So there's no reason to wear a lame bracelet all day if everyone is united in the fight against cancer already. I can't wait until this fad dies out. They are to the 2000's what bell bottoms were to the 70's. Save the activism for struggles that need public support.

Gotta finish up VP Survivor-which you can link the hate back to Danimal, who nolonger posts here.  It's not even a porblem anymore since it's on the games board, away from "important" stuff.

Have to say opebo vs. X, hence my opebo v. Shut the hell up post (which I think was deleted).  Although, I am guilty of creating an opebo v. X post or two before I realize the error of my ways.  I blame mostly BRTD and pknrocket1k for continuing it into oblivion.  Let's face it.  Opebo cannot win an election.  It's as close to a statistical impossibility as humanly possible.  So why even put him up against any one else?  I mean if it's a case for ridicule, he already gets enough of that.

For me the ultimate in irritating was the 1 millionth "how would I get this map" from the What-If board.
