# BANDWAGONS.
Why do you get so angry 'bout them?

Just look at them as a multi-perspective view of some given theme, reflecting the variety and creativity of mankind.

# Heh heh, that's the first time I've ever said "hummus"
It's just culture, people enjoy feeling part of stuff and they express that partially through in-jokes and language. It's just human nature and very deep-seated.

# contra'dick'ting yourself so soon!?
being part of the group.... the same argument could be used in favour of bandwagons could it not?

# Bandwagons aren't bad in themselves
it's just nicer when somebody puts a bit of thought into a joke, rahter than slap a different caption over the same old picture.

Not that slapping a caption over the same old picture can't be funny, it just usually isn't.

Having said that, anybody who doesn't like a bandwagon can always make a different picture and post that instead - we all have the power to change the content of the board.

# Well,

personally I like running-gags very much, and bandwagons come quite close to that.

But I agree, some contributions to bandwagons suck. But I've also seen very funny ones.

# Well bandwagons as such are not all that bad
but it somewhat shows a lack of originality especially sign bandwagons where the only shopping involved is changing some text - that isn't to say that bandwagons don't throw up the odd gem once in a while but on the whole they tend to be repetative. Now threadwasting is a severe crime punishable by DEATH. \perhaps an exaggeration.

# Yeah
Agreed with most of what you said however, threadwasters shouldn't be killed without first being well-hung drawn (preferably using Photoshop) and quartered
