This is a serious question; what exactly do you get out of making fun of IGK on an online forum? Surely there must be more interesting things for you to do than dig up threads from years ago in order to further assert your position of not liking IGK. Why don't you just make an "IGK, we, the almighty gods of the COR, do not like you" thread and be done with it. You're just beating a dead horse, and it's sad to watch. |
Simply put, the difference between IGK and a toilet is that the toilet doesn't follow you around. Additionally, however, he paints himself as a target, whether it's making small usage mistakes like his constancy in substituting your for you're or making puns, lately, that don't even measure up to the old-school IGK standards and are, more often than not, out of context. Such behavior is an irritant bound to arouse at least a modicum of contempt.
I don't really mind IGK, but the hostility you perceive directed at him is probably because IGK is unintentionally funny in a Jar Jar Binx sort of way. While his intent may be to provide comic relief, his persistence, as a clumsy oaf who's practically owned by the one-liners he's famous for and absolutely stumbles his way through his attempts at longer, more meaningful exchanges, is a cloying reminder of who most people don't want to be, and in that regard, he earns every bit of it.
