So, who might buy Maddox's book?
2006-01-29, 12:19 PM #1
I just wandered over to maddox's site and noticed he said he's finished with his book and I was wondering who might buy it?

Personally, I'm not sure yet. I'd have to know what it's about before I'll think about buying it. If it's just a giant book of rants like his site I probably won't, but if it's actually something worth-while I would think about it.

[EDIT] damn.. forgot 'buy' in the poll name... stupid laziness and non proofreading on my part....[/EDIT]

i'll see if i can find a sample chapter or something, if its funny, i'll possibly get it.

i can live without a maddox book though.

Even Fark doesn't link to Ebaum's World anymore.

Hell ya I would. Maddox is the biggest badass on the internet.

that one was very funny, but for the most part I think he tried to hard to pull the "im such an *** that its funny!" off too much
2006-01-29, 2:34 PM #10

2006-01-29, 2:36 PM #11

Why the hell wouldn't you buy it? I love how so many people bash maddox because everyone likes him. You're cool.

Yes. Because, as we all know, if you don't like something it's because you have no opinion of your own.

lol.

What would you do-o-ooo for a Klondike bar?

One guy: I'd let Nasty Nate from cell block 8 rape me... twice!

Other guy: Um... ok... I'll just pay a quarter.

I like Maddox's writing. So probably yes.
2006-01-30, 1:33 PM #17
He's one of those guys that everyone loves, but nobody loves to share. He's one of those guys that, if you don't like it, chances are you don't like it because you heard about it from someone you hate/dislike. He's great, funny, and tries too hard to be offensive and admits to it. He says everything you want to and more (for comical value), and is serious about absolutely none of it.

Will not buy it. I hate Maddox. I just do not find him funny at all. I've read every single one of his "rants", trying to give him a chance, but hasn't happened yet.

The only thing I marginally liked was the Tom Clancy Plot Generator.

I liked Maddox a lot until I noticed that he traded links with Ebaum's World.

Wow, I never thought I'd see Jon degrade to the rank of "idiot fanboy/anti-fanboy". Guess I was wrong.

No

Has nothing to do with liking/disliking him, I just don't care.

I move for him to be stripped of his rank, for actions unbefitting of an Admiral of Awesome. Hell, even a Commander of Cool would not pursue such ideas!

Maddox rocks, but I'm a cheap *******.
Woah, didn't expect that word to be censored... let it be known that I'm a cheap son of an un-wed mother.

Quick funny story. I have Maddox's site linked in my Yahoo profile under Cool Links, and some girl visited the site and thought it was my site. She stopped talking to me after thinking I was Maddox.
I can't think of anything to put here right now.
2006-01-31, 8:33 AM #33
I wouldn't want to talk to anyone that dumb anyway.

[QUOTE=Dj Yoshi]Wow, I never thought I'd see Jon degrade to the rank of "idiot fanboy/anti-fanboy". Guess I was wrong.[/QUOTE]Idiot? This coming from a kid who likes rap?

The fact that he trades links with Ebaum shows what kind of guy Maddox is. At once he criticizes magazines for stealing his articles (the adult Muppets and kid's drawings) and freely associates with a person who has become a millionaire by stealing, rebranding, reverse-engineering and plagiarism. It's hypocritical.

Your first point just shows your ignorance.

Your second point shows that you obviously don't have many friends.

I have friends that like people I despise with every piece of my being. But I'm still friends with them. Note: Holding grudges against somebody for something like that is stupid.

Your third point makes the second point make a BIT more sense, but you also forget that he LINKS to eBaum's. That doesn't mean he condones eBaum's. or even talks with good ol' Eric regularly. Just that he uses the internet.

Right, well... here's the thing: He links to Ebaum. He gives Ebaum publicity in the form of links, which garners him ad views, which directly rewards him for his behavior.

This is business. I don't like Sony-BMG for distributing spyware/viruses/rootkits on their CDs, so I don't buy Sony-BMG music albums. I don't like Ebaum, Maddox or their little scam, so I'm not going to purchase or endorse their products (such as the book Maddox is selling). It's not rocket science, Yoshi. Even you should be able to understand this without foaming at the mouth and calling me an "idiot".

1) It means you think all rap is bad/must degrade a person's intelligence. This stems from your ignorance of the kind of rap I DO listen to, and the kind I DO NOT listen to.

2) He links to eBaums--and so do a lot of sites. I don't think he does it for ad revenue, and neither do a lot of sites/forum posts that link to eBaum's out there. My friends give me eBaums links--does that mean they're getting paid by Mr. Bauman (or however you spell it)?

3) You don't have to be so hostile and nasty. Seriously, I don't know what your problem is but everytime someone disagrees with you you feel the need to degrade them with both witty/non-witty insults meant to break them down until you can feel like you're better than them. This isn't necessary, nor is it a good tactic. Chill out, and take things a bit more easily. I disagree with you--I didn't kill your mother or hate you and I haven't said my opinions are 100% fact (though I do believe in them). Until I do start with that kind of idiotic tripe, there's no reason whatsoever to attack me. And yes, that is a quasi-threat that infers I may kill your mother. But no, I do not particularly plan on it. Too much damn travelling.
