The Snowden Count is 23.

[reformist2]

The "Snowden Count" is the number of threads on the front page of GD that have the word "Snowden" in them.

1. Including this one?

[Fire Walk With Me]

2. William S. Burroughs is pleased. n/t

[reformist2]

5. I didn't even realize that when I counted them! But now someone's ruined it...

we're up to 24.

3. Why do you care?

Don't want to talk about it, don't click on them. Trash this thread is also available. NOBODY is making you read or comment on any subject.

[reformist2]

6. I find it hilarious. The anti-Snowden crowd has already lost, imo.

[randome]

7. Ah, I see. You're playing a game and keeping score. That explains much.

21. It's high school around here sometimes. -nt

[Logical]

9. Why do you care that they care? Same dumb question right back. n-t

[99Forever]

16. Oh my!

The Peewee Herman Gambit. Well played.

[Logical]

17. Countered the "I whine about posts I don't like" Gambit. n-t

[99Forever]

18. Havin'...

... a bad hair day, bud? Or are you always so full of yourself?

[Logical]

19. Coming from the whiner who posted....

"Don't want to talk about it, don't click on them. Trash this thread is also available. NOBODY is making you read or comment on any subject."

Who sounds full of themselves? Or is having a bad day? LOL, keep trying.

[99Forever]

23. That's okay bud.

Run along and find someone who gives a shit about what you think.

[Logical]

25. Ahhhh.....now you are losing your temper. Calm down. You can always....

"don't click on them. Trash this thread is also available. NOBODY is making you read or comment on" my posts! LOL!!

[99Forever]

26. Nope.

Tried being fun with you, but you had to be a jerk, so, the next post I see from you will read:

"You are ignoring this member"

Ta ta.

[Logical]

27. OK! Thanks. Good luck to you. I have no one on ignore yet. n-t

4. Snowden seems to be THE person to diss on DU today.

[flamingdem]

8. It was worse yesterday!

The pro-Snows were overwhelming the anti-Snows, today anti-Snows have edged ahead taking the lead going into the curve.

10. Proving once again: You need a program to understand the game.

Reads like a horse race.

[flamingdem]

12. In the end I predict the anti-Snows will win by a hare

The pro-Snow turtles will find out something nasty about their hero. All in all not much will change and a new scandal will hit by the end of next week

[In_The_Wind]

14. I wish it wasn't like that however I do believe that you're right.

I won't become a turtle cause I'm intelligent enough to know that no one is without flaws.

[Junkdrawer]

20. Like a Presidential Election year...

Issues? We don't need no steeking issues...

[alcibiades_mystery]

11. He's so dreamy

[flamingdem]

13. That five o'clock shadow thing seems

totally rehearsed.

But I fell for it anyway, anyone remember Miami Vice?

[Major Hogwash]

15. Cue Joel Hodgson . . it's an online version of Mystery Date.

When you answer the door will your date be a dreamboat (ahhhh) or a dud (ewwww)?

[reformist2]

28. Too funny.

[treestar]

22. There are days like that

And always threads commenting on it, too.

[reformist2]

24. OMG, the 24th post!

Missed it by that much!

[Cleita]

29. Can't get away from it, but it isn't just DU. It's the meme du jour all over

the radio, TV and internet.



Personally, I prefer it to past media manias like the Terry Schiavo fiasco. We tried counting the threads at DU and couldn't, there were that many.
