Personally I find this disgusting, and bigoted.

Making fun of celebrities is one thing. Making fun of people with medical conditions beyond their control is another. Some people just can't help being idiots.

I think you mixed up I2 and this place.

But I thought being a celebrity is a medical condition. :lol:

There's probably a diagnosable mental disorder waiting to be named for celebrities who have to deal with fans and press stalking them, having their private lives plastered all over the place, having rumors about their private lives plastered all over the place, dealing with all kinds of social pressures from other celebrities as well as others in the business, and the maladaptive coping mechanisms they develop in order to function.

Admittedly, it'd probably have features of other existing mental disorders and thus be somewhat redundant.

I know atindo personally....he's not benefiting his ego. He's got a 600hp Ford Torino and a VW bug that he's gotten all 4 wheels off the ground jumping s**t. When you have s**t like that to be proud of you don't stroke your ego by typing. He makes more money than 90% of the people on this site. This is just one of his many methods of letting off steam or entertaining himself....I'm not quite sure which but I'm guessing it's not the former since he's hardly if ever angry around me.

Fair enough dude. from what i gathered on the related thread to this though, was that he was needlessly making fun on another member. he could have said to the person it does not bother me in the slightest but creating a thread of his own and quoting the person is not nice to do.

How is this offensive? There are definitely morons out there. Nobody's saying they are mentally-retarded or autistic or whatever. I'm scratching my head at why anyone would be offended by this.
