I actually considered making a Justin Guarini joke, but it's hard to mock the dude when he's starring in the biggest play on Broadway:

You'll be waiting a long time.

Because we enjoy writing about food, and people click on the things we write about it.

In related news, Orange Is The New Black is another show on Netflix.

Those ads are targeted to you, based on your browsing history.

Didn't even make it past the first sentence, I see.

No, this is an accurate prediction of what will happen, based on science.

These people all have silly names.

Me too.

This is in the article.

I actually called a meeting about it once! It accomplished very little!

While there has been some blurring of the lines in the past—creating some internal staff debate—"Great Job, Internet" is meant to be for things that were created by the Internet, that can only be experienced on the Internet.

Eh, O'Dowd's from Boyle, right? Close enough.

It was a joke on the very first story that quickly became not a joke. It hasn't been a joke, in the sense that I'm mockingly couching LaBeouf's actions as faux-performance art, for a long while. So again, while I get what you're complaining about, you're really just complaining about how Shia LaBeouf is

Shut up, seventh grade.

We're not arguing. I'm pointing out the fact that you want me to "come up with a new gag," when unfortunately my "gag" is now just the reality. So really, you want Shia LaBeouf to come up with a new gag. And believe me when I say, we all do.

This is a tie-in Halloween costume, not part of the production.

Right, and I pointed that out with the link at the end of the very first paragraph—that some in the media (i.e., us) had jokingly suggested it was performance art, and that he had immediately adopted this as a defense. Unfortunately, there's no other way to report on LaBeouf explicitly calling his plagiarism

This isn't an AV Club gag. He's expressly tried to contextualize it as performance art for months now, which is what this article is about. It's also in the headline, in case you don't feel like reading that much.
