*sticky

Stickying this post at the top of Sift Talk - sticky requested by dystopianfuturetoday.

Once, a long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away you were the number one sifter on VideoSift.

Then your star began to fall... 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and now it is at 10. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

You are to videosift, what New Orleans is to the United States. Depraved, uneducated, unscrupulous, an afterthought, and you are also a good lay so the ladies tell me, but this isn't the time or place to laud you...

Data: You have gained some 3,670 views on your "art" blog and you've been a member since October of 2005 and you have approx. 212,000 profile views on Videosift having been on here since April of 2006.

Analysis of this data will lead me to suspect that people care far more about your submissions of other people's works than your own work.

Conclusion: I hope you have some source of supplemental income.

When margin of error is calculated in, an estimated half of those profile hits were from sifters...today. Factoring in friends and family that have to go to your blog to see what you're up to since you can't afford a cell phone, lead me to believe you have roughly 24 unique profile views. (I did not factor in accidental views for the sake of your dignity)

No but seriously dude...I know sometimes we all feel like "specs" in a sea of a larger cosmic picture, but you will never amount to the worth of half of a point in Seurat's Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. Time to put down the paint brush and pick up a bottle of grandpa's cough medicine.

Seeing as he lives in New Orleans I am sure he has no shortage of boos and prostitutes to fill his time.

So, we're roasting the lowlife, chicory drinking, gumbo eating New Orleanian that goes by the not-so imaginative moniker of DotDude. This seems like as much of a waste of time as making FEMA a first responder after Katrina. I'm sure it will be just as fun as a post-Katrina New Orleans, too. I'd rather be looting knee deep in flood waters.

I see you're an artist. Yawn. That's always what people call themselves when they realize they contribute about as much to society as a pile of dog shit. "I don't just clean gutters, dammit! I'm an artist!"

No, I'm just busting your chops. I dig your contribution to this site. Keep it up!

Pssst, Blankfist...no being nice to him... it is a roast. We are supposed to be mean or patronizing, but in a mildly humorous way like seeing him naked.

Personally, I can't wait till someone draws a *quality dot picture of themselves pooping on him.

MycroftHomlz cannot award a quality point for this Sift Talk post because MycroftHomlz does not have enough Power Points - ignoring quality request by MycroftHomlz.

CURSE YOU SIFTBOT CREATION OF GARGAMEL.

In my estimation dotdude is a righteous fella. He's been here since forever and still takes the time to comment on videos from the lowly n00bz. That's alright with me.

Oh wait, this is a roast...

FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!

Me and dotdude go way back. It was all of 5 minutes ago that I noticed a bug on the Sift, so I ran my virus scan program twice to get rid of him; to no avail.

I'm selling my computer. CHEAP.

I need to point out something else that is a testament to his utter lack of creativity and originality. Dotdude runs a channel. A channel that isn't even it's own unique idea, rather the subcategory of a channel that already exists. If something is a parody, it usually falls under the category of "comedy". In fact I doubt you'll find many sifts that are in the parody channel that aren't in the comedy channel. It's like if I started a channel and called it "Election 08 Democrats" or "Cooking with vegetables".

I meant for this to be funny, but after writing it, I realize it's true and not really funny at all, rather sad and I refuse to participate in any parodytalk posts.

alright. what's all this, then.

>> ^MycroftHomlz:

*quality? lemme' tell you about dotdude's qualities.

it's true, he has a beard. but, as you can see, he keeps it well-trimmed.

yet, surprisingly, when it comes to his vehicles?

> 5. If you had a time machine would you keep it clean?
> Clean?!? What does that mean?!?

we can only surmise, that means, "No."

Awarding E_Nygma with one star point for this contribution to Sift Talk - declared quality by my15minutes.

>> ^MycroftHomlz:
> ...in New Orleans I am sure he has no shortage of boos and prostitutes...

spelling it 'boos' was an intentionally witty roast-reference, or something. right?
please say i'm right...

Wow, this roast is just as successful as Dotdude's art career.

Painting in New Orleans? Talk about putting lipstick on a pig! But isn't that just like someone from Nawlins? It figures that this bourgeois, cappuccino grunge, "I'm so relevant," artist would live in New Orleans. It's the home of fine whine. Oh, they got their noses in the air and pinkies stuck out, but that's just to keep away from the stench of the rotting corpses they bury ABOVE GROUND and to let you know that they always have their hand out for your spare change. In fact, all their plans in that city start with someone else's money.

Oh, Dotdude might be a painter, but he's really practiced in the art of how to separate you from your cash. Home tours, dot art, Bourbon Street bar hopping, transvestite window standing, drawing caricatures of tourists near the Cafe du Monde . . . what a life. Hang around here Dot . . . maybe some real class will rub off on you. Of course if you ever did get that close we'd have to go disinfect.

Classical, Educated, Brilliant, Refined, A real Gentleman. Yes these are words I would never use to describe Dotdude. Oh I know you've seen him at swank social gatherings and posh dinners but in reality he lives a lie. You see 'artist' is just another word for 'homeless'. We all know that the difference between a pizza and an artist is that the pizza can feed a family of four. Poor dotdude can barely feed himself.

So if you see Dotdude on the streets of New Orleans, trying to sell scribblings of a LOLcat on a dinner napkin. Tell him his mom called and that she doesn't want him to come home again, ever. And while your at it why not buy a LOLcat napkin for a couple cents, you can always throw it away later.

Now. I am going to weird everyone out by changing my avatar to something completely random.

he calls himself dotdude because he's a pointilist?

Oh.

I thought he was being hip and cool. Like he's the dude of the internet. Like .dude, y'know? Had no idea he was aping a dead guy. Better go buy him a cravat and a carved cane, wot?

MAN, am I disappointed!

Oh no, I've been cloned . . .

its no wonder he's up in the diamond 500 club... not like artists have anything important to do all day.... although with all those blogs he runs and self-lauding vids he makes I am amazed he has time to do art either.


...after checking out his "work" I can understand now... gotta fill the time somehow in between all those doodles.

I can't do this-DD's dry bones sense of humor and slow up-take on my own jibs and jabs while chatting.......
Lemme put it this away....chatting with DD is like using that device Hawking's has, with 3 toes of one foot-I told him I pictured him stove-up inna sweaty leather chair with Frito crumbs, and he accused me of being able to seee through the window of his stall-
When he's not going to the latest art-house motion picture abortion, he busies himself with getting really excited about the most mundane things imaginable....someone he met on you tubes' dysfunctional pets, some married woman with a corn fetish, for some reason he's fixated on poodles-He "tagged" me and some other users one day, and I apologize dotdude, for breaking the chain....I dinna have the heart to tell ya how gay that made me feel-tag yer gay....

Oh and he has a great eye for comedy though, he did bring the only black man in Nebraska to the sift, ercell watson, and then all you other crackers reminded him of home and he never came back.....Speaking of an eye, he realy does know art-the fine art of social dysfunction and nerditude, DD, I had no idea the top users of this site were such frikkin' booger-eaters, hell, the only persons who broke that mold are Candians......well, not true Canadians, the plastiquemonkeys are half-Japanese...

Anyhow, give it up for the only person who had any faith in the roast concept working here on such a site fulla sandy vaginas, whiners who breastfed till they could wear corrective lenses, and 20-somethings who, if they have any sense of humor about the world or themselves at all, borrowed it from some coke-addled, hack writer for Comedy Central!(blame those bastards whenever I can)

Brilliant, but I think you'd be amazed at how nice the new Volvos are.

Of course, when dotdude says he has a Volvo, he means he has just the logo from the grill that he found next to his bridge.

Also, when he says that he's an artist, he means that he's an artist for the government. He draws unemployment.

painfully derivative

berticus, you hit the nail on the head, but i think those two circles are still way to close together.

What I don't understand is why-

Masturbating to Dots

wasn't your #1 answer to "What do you do when you are not at the computer?" Seriously, you know this is true. Creepy little artist.

Hey, you should link some of your art.

...actually on second thought, I'd rather my lunch remain in my stomach where it belongs.

I heard Bill O'Reilly did a story on it. He said it was fantastic.

I'm Spartacus.

this is madness?

NO!

THIS!

IS!

SIFT-AAAAAHHHH!

*kicks dotdude into septic tank of the sift*

rottenseed and JAPR are the only two folks who spent any time masturbating to your avatar.....you should be honored by such a turn-out

Oh, and a couple of those dotilist paintings look like someone threw up on my pizza.

http://image1.frappr.com/pix1/i/20070829/4/b/1/4b1728c5807c849f63b95f0c34d588ef0_large.jpg

Is there a non-official roast? Is that where we just drop by his profile and make fun of him?

Sorry, silvercord, that one already sold.

That one is a self-portrait. (the sad part is, it isn't "abstract")

The truth is... I am Spartacus.

I am snagglepuss

I am never gonna give you up.

Dotdoodle.

OK I MADE IT! The party can start now! Sorry all been REALLY tied up with work lately. Well besides the more-than-painfully-obvious flaws that my comrades already pointed out,^ I took a look at his Blogger thingy. After babel fishing it back to English (it came up in Korean) I was able to read it.

^so are you gonna roast are you just gonna babble, fish?

On first impression, the one thing that came into my head was refrigerator magnets. That page looks like those little words that people who pretend to have talent use. Seems fitting. Because as far as talent is concerned, I think youd better stick with an art form stick with an art form that that people will recognize. Besides, the latter of the two is right up your alley.

And if all else fails, you could always put on that "I'm Retarded" sign the government gave you to wear and try to sell your crap. People are suckers for retards and will feel bad so they will buy your arts and crafts project which are comparable to a third graders. Retarded third graders. On drugs.

Anyways. as far as that blog goes, I noticed he likes to talk about unexpected boners. I won't even code the link so you can all see it. http://randomwood.blogspot.com/ Some one help him out with that? Poor little guy probably thinks theres something wrong with it and cries when it happens. Even if he knows that its supposed to do that, it probably gets hard from rigor mortis. That is, I'm almost sure it died from lack of use.

I have to stop now. Just talking about this pathetic, talentless, good for nothing, useless, unproductive, leech on the economy is depressing me. Excuse me while I go wipe my ass with a piece of his "art". See dotdude? The Government issued sign works!

:: Joins the club, wonders what is going on ::

you know, it's custom to make fun of someone for something they do for a living here in a roast, and i have no problem poking jibs at the mediocre art dotdude produces, but in reality i think we all agree there is at least SOME infinitely small increment of merit in a select few of his works. Not so with this one. all joking aside, this piece of shit blows. i think one of the tags, "found object" is in fact exactly what it is. omfg.

^AHHHHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHA!

After all this talk of dotdude's 'art' I saw one of his recent sifts and it really made me wonder if he is a closet self linker... I do have it on good authority that he is a rabid BBQ addict...

Zifnab, you're referring to "performance art," a genre I don't do.

then, why did your neighbors tell us you're frequently seen, on nearby streetcorners, defecating on canvas and finger-painting with it?

It must be a dotdude clone.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

feel free to *unsticky whenever... i know dag has a general 24-hour limit. plus, dotdude really isn't important enough to warrant top siftalk position.

Invocations (unsticky) cannot be called by E_Nygma because E_Nygma is not privileged - sorry.

Here's what I think of DotDude... He could not even invoke in me enough 'meh' to come here when the thread was still live to insult him. Thats how little he means to me

*unsticky
and could we get E Nygma to close??...(jeeez, hope you people don't have any children..)

Unstickying this post from the top of Sift Talk - unsticky requested by choggie.

This thread looks like a hall of mirrors. Outside of here, I’m sure there is some confusion as to who is speaking to whom. Anyway, as dotdude, I guess I should bring a close to all this cloning around. It is time for me to address the individuals who took time out of their hectic schedules to write. I appreciate your efforts, such as they were.

MycroftHomlz – You seem a little too interested in my love life and you give new meaning to the words “art lover.” Then you call me “creepy?!?”

rottenseed – Thank you, but your translation skills are no longer needed.

Blankfist – It will please you to know that I am an active participant in local cultural tourism efforts.

Kronoposeidon – You made me blush.

Captain Willard – Some of us bugs are quite resilient.

JAPR – Your typing skills are quite extraordinary. My, your family must be proud.

my15minutes – I’ll let you in on a little secret. Artists are a bit messy.

K0MMIE – I’m quite satisfied with my art career and this roast.

silvercord – I’m so sorry you went for the cheapest travel package when you visited New Orleans. There are more refined establishments in town if you just know where to go.

gorgonheap – I do share an alma mater with some folks by the last name Manning and do live in a house that’s been in my name for fourteen years.

smibbo – I suppose you stop at the first definition when you look up a word. Photography and video are included in today’s definition of art.

choggie – Yes, I confess I have yet to master choggian in real time.

MarineGunrock – You will be happy to know that I am not a financial burden to the government nor am I to anyone else.

berticus – Aw, I was expecting a Venn Digram.

Doc_M – Oh boy, you’ve given me an idea for a new dot painting.

arsenault185 – Let me get this straight. You want to wipe your what with my what?

Zifnab - Yes, I do like BBQ sauce - the Hickory kind that's on the sweet side. But I use the sauce on food, not my art. A sauce like that would attract varmints.

And last but not least, there’s our own Riddler Roaster – are you sure it’s not Ritalin Riddler?

E_Nygma – I have to admire the speed in which you pulled together this roast and revised the questionnaire. Thank you so much.

I should mention that there is a photo link that I added to the questionnaire yesterday.

Just so you know there are some dot artists besides Seurat:

Yayoi Kusama - her work (NSFW)

Vance Kirkland - h
is work

Victor Vasarely - his work

A
boriginal Art

Thanks again,

Mo

Um...your rebuttal is a little premature isn't it? This means you either can't stand the heat in the kitchen that YOU built, OR, your problem with finishing prematurely extends beyond just with the ladies (and trannies). According to the schedule we still have 3 days.

ROAST COMMENCE!!!

...dickwad

Hall of mirrors? What? Dude I can't help it if I randomly change my avatar and you think it sooooo cool that you have to take it.

Plus, everyone knows that I am in fact, Dotdude.

well, it seems that there is some confusion in the final timeline of this roast. dotdude believes a lack of stickiness indicates completion, whereas EVERY OTHER SIFTER can read. however, since finishing prematurely and stickiness are in fact often linked together, I'll grant a reprieve from this beatdown and conclude this roast.

i'd like to thank all of the participants for their unkind words and thoughtless remarks. i'd like to thank my15mins for the star his +quality invocation gave me, and for the thoughts behind mycroft's inadequate attempt. lastly i'd like to thank the man of the hour himself, dotdude, for his contributions to a historically ravaged part of the US, both in time served and in artwork furnished. it has been an honor and a pleasure to host this roast, and i wish the best of wit to the next lucky roastee.

feel free to return to your regularly scheduled avatars.

-ritalin roaster

is it because I laughed at you for having thinning hair???

I'm sahwee

Late to the party again. Goddamnit...

First off, you guys are being way too harsh on Dotdude. I've bought several of his paintings, and I have to say they've made the best litterbox liner money can buy. You can get them on Craigslist, just look for the ads titled, "For the love of Christ, someone please validate my life choice!"

But honestly, it's actually really good to have guys like him around. It means less competition for money and women. SOMEONE has to be on the bottom of the pyramid, and Dotdude's the fat cheerleader of society.

By the way, squares kick ass.

Karaidl, you savy investor, you. I am a bit puzzled about the art you purchased since the majority of the ones we’re discussing are 5” x 5”. The recess from the back is only 1 ¾" X 1 ¾” with a depth of 1 ¼”. That must be a rather miniature putty tat. What rare breed is your wee feline?

Then again, maybe you’ve purchased a “knock-off” of my work?!?
