Umm... is it just me, or is Dan purposefully doing bad in his videos? I guess tomarrow will decide it really if he has a good Wall Wednesday video but if not... idk, lets take a look at it: Monday: An apparent 'undebateable' topic that didn't explain itself and rambled halfway through the video without any valid points. Tuesday: Celebrating 4-20 he did the entire video as SG. SG only answered 3 questions, let us stare at the room for a minute and threw a fit. Wednesday: Led us on to believe he was going to explain Monday's video. Made my day suck... Thursday: Gospel of the Unholy Meatball Menace. (Fail, I was expecting a response to a video. Why do this instead?) Seems extremely cultish and freaks me the eff out actually... *shudders* Friday: The greastest Dan Brown video ever which fills every part of my being with enthusiasm. He has the right to believe in what he wants to, and he has acknowledged that forcing it on other people, however, is bad. WOOT!

Wait, his secret project is the second coming of 4chan?
Oh dear. The end is nigh.

No... I don't think it has anything to do with his secret project. Unless 'we' are his secret project.

With his show as his primary source of income, I doubt he wants to wean us off of his tutelage. He's up to sooomething, but I really doubt that's it. Excellent observation about the videos... I do happen to disagree about Monday's video, t'was epic.

I can still be Epic while still being bad. I found it mildly entertaining in that sense but the spice of a heated debate that his other topics brought just wasn't there. Edit: However, it could be. We'd just have to talk it over in the debate section. I might as well get reading to find out what this "tea party" really is.

Careful in your research. They will blow your mind.
I had one tea party member at a protest so angry at me that he was red in the face and literally frothing at the mouth. Telling him he should get that checked out hardly remedied the situation.
It's an interesting group, I'll give you that, but frankly as a movement... They kind of scare me.
Or at least they did until Dan Brown showed me the light this week. But that's another story.

Umm, may I ask what 'light' that is? He didn't exactly 'say' anything...

It was a figurative light shed on the situation, not a literal light, a figurative light, you see?

/facepalm
I know that. What do you mean though. He didn't express an opinion therefore there is no light to be shed...

The statement was purely a joke, man. I'm mostly serious, and most of my jokes are intended to strengthen my points, but I am known to do pure jokes ONCE in a while.

it kind of makes me a little angry that dan thinks he can just MAKE himself a prophet. not that i doubt him. if he actually WAS contacted by our fearless Almighty FSM, that's one thing, but if he's making this all up just to become a revered figure in the most respectable religion the world has ever seen, then i resent that. i am a pastafarian before i am a dan fan.

He's not joking, man. It's not made up, he SAW the FSM. This is BIGGER than science. Science is a joke after this revelation. Sarah Palin is the FSM incarnate. It doesn't have to make sense since, as Dan pointed out, his noodles work in mysterious ways, and in that regard this makes perfect sense.

He also hasn't been putting ads on his videos recently, meaning he's making no money on these videos :\

I find it strange that everyone is so afraid of or offended by a little change in his routine. I think it's great that he's being original and experimenting with different formats.

Its a metaphore for the tea party. You have to understand the tea party to get it.

Failweek continues with his Wall Wednesday. When he says he would clear up the 'confusion' I perked up a little bit and was happy to hear what he had to say. He then talked about his pet stoner guerrilla. I don't think anyone was confused about SG, SG is just trying to live his life. I was very very very disappointed. (((

I have to say his satire is a bit dull. Not on the level of, say, EdwardCurrent. It's a bit too drawn out too. The best satire sounds very close to the stance being mocked; Dan's is off on its own tangent. So I get the joke, but it's kind of lost its humour after a while. Alas.
I wonder what he'll do as a vid reply on Thursday, given that video probably won't be related to the remainder of the week's vlogging.

I really have not liked Dan's latest videos, I kind of get his message but he is saying it in a somewhat offensive and unfunny way. I have wanted him to stray away from all of the videos about the community but if this is the alternative he should stick with all of the Pogo tribe videos
