My brother died five and a half weeks ago. He was 27, working out at the gym when it happened. The walls of his heart burst. He died almost instantly. None of us knew it was coming. None of us even knew there was anything wrong.

In heaven
Everything is fine

Everything is fine
You've got your good things
And I've got mine

I'm gonna tell you a story. Sit down.

Thus did the Kinja wave cover the land, transforming the AV Club into something very much like the rest of the Internet - devoid of jokes and wit, but filled with lots of mindless anger.

Where can we read your book?

Or maybe he has issues with jokes in general. Either way, SAD!

The one-off gimmick posters were my fave.

I do. I loved that big red no.

Frowny face. Also, middle finger.

And it was worth it.

Clever. Clearly this joke took you a long time.

Missed it by thaaaaaat much.

Goddamn right.

CancerAIDS!

Not staged, I promise. Dude has played in a couple Seattle rock/punk bands. It's totally in character for him to do something like that.

Back in the day, 2000+ comments used to be typical for the AV Club. The difference was in what we were discussing. Didn't used to be dumb "thinkpieces."

Seems like a weirdly appropriate note to go out on, doesn't it?

Yeah, this is exactly the stuff I try to avoid on the Internet at large. Bye.

Yes, I get what you're saying - I just took it and picked the whole argument apart. You don't need to repeat yourself.
