Shit, if I'd just competed in the Olympics, I'd probably need a joint or two just to come down from the freaking stress.  AND I DON'T EVEN FUCKING SMOKE.

I'm fairly certain at least one of those is a joke. The way Nath St Paul worded it seemed like he was taking the piss.

I kind of wonder if a lot of Twitter/Facebook/etc. posts by super-stupid people are really trolls.

The Web is crawling with folks who possess a special kind of stupid. I found a site that expresses what I'm trying to say perfectly!

I HOPE & PRAY that some of these cases are simply trolls.

RIP Frep Phelps. Your Olympic legacy will live on and nobody can take those gold medals from you.

Say what you will about Fred Phelps but 18 gold medals is quite something.

There are some seriously stupid people out there.

I prefer to think they are lucky enough to have never heard of Fred and thus the only Phelps they know of is Michael.

Conversely, it's the Fark reaction, where you take the name out of context and mis-identify an idiot for the lulz.

Same thing about Carl Weathers being confused with Joseph Kony. Yes, it's a buzzfeed list, but the example responses are hilarious.

Trolling people on Facebook with that was great.

Jesus, guys, the Fred/Michael Phelps comments are clearly jokes. No-one would genuinely be that stupid.

Although, in fairness, it is a relatively hacky/overdone joke. That's one of the problems with twitter really, hundreds of people make the same joke without bothering to check if anyone else has. I think I've seen at least 50,000 variations on "more like dead phelps, amirite?" so far.

After seeing one fundie quote on the main site, has Westboro Baptist Church ever protested a homosexual funeral?

Given the vast amount of soldiers funerals they've picketed and dividing how many of them might have been gay that died before DADT was repealed odds are yes they have.

“No, I’m not kidding!” Farrell replied, according to the Maricopa Monitor. “This world needs to get back to the biblical standards that our God made for us. This guy was not afraid to preach it, and I respect that.”

The vice mayor told the Facebook friend that he was “just having a hard time with all of this (sic) gay and lesbian rights thing,” and blamed LGBT people for his own homophobia.

People are struggling for their rights, and you have to hear about it?
