Look, here’s a tip: if you don’t like the Oatmeal, keep it to yourself. If you really do have to write an article personally attacking the author though, make sure you research the hell out of it. Or this will happen.
Buzzfeed contributor Jack Stuef wrote a fairly wordy article attacking Matthew Inman, the creator of The Oatmeal comics that we all know and love. Problem is, for such a vicious piece of work, it was also ridiculously badly researched. Small children have done better thought-out crayon drawings. It was littered with factual errors, and Stuef even found a social media profile (on some random website that no-one’s even ever heard of) that he said was of Inman — in fact it was some poor, completely unrelated bloke and his innocent wife.
Inman retaliated in true Oatmeal style: an incredibly long, and ‘frankly’ worded blog post, taking the original article in all its glory and tearing it into bloody chunks. He then went on to do a personal attack on Mr Stuef himself. It’s quite gory. If you’re a fan of watching the internet equivalent of a hyena ripping chunks from a poor, dead animal, click on through.

When men of the interwebz go to war we all tremble in fear.
Then we remember its all on the internet and doesn’t matter and go back to our lives.
Awesome response!
Yes, It is very important if you post stuff on a blog that you do the research and get it right, rather than making unfounded statements that are so far from the truth as to be laughable.

I only screwed with Oatmeal once.
Having had my genitals burned off, I decided not to do it again.
buzzfeed is shite anyway. i used to visit but almost every reply was racist or just ignorant. i got bored of baiting racist yanks in the end.
I wouldnt care even if the article was true, the content of the comic is the important thing not whether the authors doing it for arts sake or just to earn money.
A site that is more interested in traffic than comments and criticism of readers……that sounds a little familiar.
It’s called the internet. It’s been here a while, mostly it’s about making money.
Sorry, it’s entirely about making money.
That’s only true for the creators. For the rest of us, it’s about porn.
Well I didn’t want to put it like that, but yes, essentially the internet is just money and wanking.
And if you can figure out how to combine those two, you are set for life..
I don’t understand what the original article was supposed to be saying, so what if this oatmeal guy is trying to make money, good on him, he’s supporting himself instead of relying on others. I’ve tried to make money in the past off my own back previously (making & selling games) and every time someone asks me why I do it I say “because I love doing it… and I might get filthy rich if I get lucky”, I have no problem with selling out, I don’t know why anyone does tbh.
that is great
I once heard a wise man once say:
“Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you’re still a retard.”
Take from that what you will.
Rhyme thinks it’s some chunky poindexter with his knickers in a twist.
Talkin bout how Oatmeal is all handsome and athletic and shit. Methinks you protest too much playa.
Heavy people are always bitchin about shit.
AND RHYME SHOULD KNOW, I WEIGH 14 TONNES WITHOUT THE TRAILER!
