the earsplitting pop music?

Cue up the appropriately named Pop Evil

There's a 3rd one around here somewhere.

People keep posting this, and it doesn't make any sense. This isn't what "jumping the shark" means.
October 28th, 2014 at 7:14 PM ^
The 1000th Dave Brandon thread of the week. Jim Harbaugh wearing a Michigan shirt on Alumi day. It's the decline of the MGoBoard.
October 28th, 2014 at 7:24 PM ^
"Jumping the Shark" doesn't mean "declining." The term describes the use of a gimmick or absurdly-conceived novelty designed to attract viewers in order to combat decreasing popularity. It really doesn't apply here.
Even the original usage makes no sense. Happy Days was doing just fine when that episode aired.
October 28th, 2014 at 7:25 PM ^
This looks like it would fit in the category of a gimmick or absurdly-conceived novelty.
October 28th, 2014 at 8:32 PM ^
Are you arguing that kakusei has jumped the shark? I haven't followed his postings so I'm not sure.
October 28th, 2014 at 8:37 PM ^
Hmm. Wikipedia says otherwise:
Jumping the shark is an idiom created by Jon Hein that was used to describe the moment in the evolution of a television show when it begins a decline in quality . . . The usage of "jump the shark" has subsequently broadened beyond television, indicating the moment when a brand, design, franchise or creative effort's evolution declines.
October 28th, 2014 at 8:40 PM ^
I love how you left out the sentence "signaled by a particular scene, episode, or aspect of a show in which the writers use some type of "gimmick" in an attempt to keep viewers' interest."
October 28th, 2014 at 8:45 PM ^
That it involves a gimmick isn't up for the debate. Yes it does - but the gimmick is the first clear sign that the product is declining. Your description makes it sound like it's a last-ditch attempt to revive a failing product, which is not how most would define it.
October 28th, 2014 at 8:49 PM ^
"In an attempt to keep viewers interest." That's the key point. It's a gimmick designed to keep people watching. The notion that one post from one user on this blog is evidence for the blog jumping the shark makes no sense. If you disagree, you either don't understand the term or are simply being deliberately stupid.
October 28th, 2014 at 9:00 PM ^
So I take it you're downvoting all my posts here? Why are you doing that? I didn't downvote yours.
It doesn't really matter - I have enough points - but the point of downvoting someone is supposed to be about them posting something that violates community standards or is otherwise beyond the pale, and not just because you have a slightly different opinion on a random topic.

this one is not worth fighting

"Jumping the shark" meant the gimmick that marked the beginning of the end/decline. Dave and Maddy "doing it" (actually, any two TV characters finally breaking the sexual tension) introducing a new baby or child to the TV family, "tonight on a very special...", etc.
October 28th, 2014 at 7:05 PM ^
I was scared to see what this was going to be about....
October 28th, 2014 at 7:11 PM ^
Are you surrendering?
October 28th, 2014 at 7:21 PM ^
No. White is the color of virginity and chastity. It symbolizes our refusal to be fucked by Dave Brandon.
October 28th, 2014 at 7:28 PM ^
Michigan fans are Dave's Lisa Ann.
October 28th, 2014 at 7:38 PM ^
Those 2,000 or so crowdfunded #firebrandon shirts that are being printed for the student section are white, so I assume they are trying to build on that momentum.

and then I saw the modified Chobani flyer and I was like

Notice how he grimaces right when the thumb comes out. Heeheheheh
October 28th, 2014 at 7:25 PM ^
is reminisicent of this...
Combine that with the "Under the Whites" and it sounds like an advertisement for a Neo-Nazi rally. This was ill-thought out.
October 28th, 2014 at 7:51 PM ^
GODWIN'd
October 28th, 2014 at 8:12 PM ^
in 1653.
The actual speech works quite well for Brandon:
It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonoured by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice; ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government; ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse; gold is your God; which of you have not barter'd your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?
Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defil'd this sacred place, and turn'd the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redress'd, are yourselves gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors. In the name of God, go!

Esau what you did there.
October 28th, 2014 at 8:18 PM ^
He was the Earl of Wessex and the father of Harold Godwinson, the man Duke William of Normandy defeated at Hastings to seize the throne of England.

October 28th, 2014 at 8:19 PM ^
You are the only one who thought of that.
October 28th, 2014 at 8:23 PM ^
That's what I get for watching a documentary about the Nazis whilst thread browsing.
October 28th, 2014 at 7:35 PM ^
Students to follow through on this and not back out like they did on the planned protest for the PSU game.
October 28th, 2014 at 7:34 PM ^
October 28th, 2014 at 7:50 PM ^
What time on the Diag?
October 28th, 2014 at 8:34 PM ^
Brandon is gone. Ross was the last real obstacle and he conceded.
The point has been made - you don't need an endless series of "events" to make this happen. It's happening, but it will just take a little while for the institutional machinery to finish it up.
October 28th, 2014 at 9:01 PM ^
Brandon got himself fired. The only question is when?
October 29th, 2014 at 12:36 AM ^
October 29th, 2014 at 9:34 AM ^
Yeah, see the thing is, he's still here.
So its probably for the best to keep the pressure on until he's gone, just in case.
