ds106: Visual Assignment: Troll Quotes

Visual Assignment 25 brief

Find an image of a well known figure, add to it a famous quote by someone related in some way to the figure in the image and then attribute the quote to a third, related figure. From the official site: How It Works

  1. Get a picture of someone people idolize. Obi Wan Kenobi, Barack Obama, Captain Kirk — any beloved public figure will do.
  2. Slap on a famous quotation from a similar character from a different book or movie. Pick something close enough that a non-fan might legitimately confuse them. If you’re using Captain Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation, for example, you’ll probably want to grab a quote from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Babylon 5 or Battlestar Galactica.
  3. Attribute the quotation to a third character, from yet a third universe. This way, nothing about your image is correct, and you’re trolling fans of all three characters at once.

My Troll Quote

I attempted to troll with a film still from Aliens, a quote from the stockroom scene in The Matrix, and then attributed it all to Dr Dave Bowman from 2001: A Space Odyssey. I’m not sure anyone would respond to my troll. I usually don’t feed trolls.

Nice. Because Ripley would need lots and lots of guns, especially after all those Colonial Marines had kicked it. The caption actually fits the picture. I like it.

Hey thanks Alan!
Thinking about it, there’s quite a difference between how guns are used in both films. In Aliens guns and ammunition are in scarce supply and are used sparingly and somewhat desperately. In The Matrix the supply of guns and ammunition is neverending.

THIS KIND OF COMMENT IS JUST TYPICAL OF THE KIND OF PERSON WHO DOES NOT TRULY UNDERSTAND THE WOMAN ELLEN RIPLEY!!!!1
I CAN’T BELIEVE IT. I’VE BEEN ON THE INTERNET ALL MY LIFE. I’VE BEEN TO VERY COMIC-CON. I KNOW ABOUT THE ALIEN FRANCHISE. I’VE EVEN GOT A SIGNED COPY OF TEH ALIENS SPECIAL-EDITION DVD SIGNED BY SIGOURNEY WEAVER. THAT’S HOW MUCH I KNOW ABOUT ALIENS. WHEN I SEE THIS KIND OF THING. IT MAKES ME SICK!!!111. I WISH YOU WOULD JSUT stop MAKING THIS STUFF FULLSTOP, THEN TAKE THIS ARTSY-STUFF DOWN.

IF UR THE SAME PERSON WHO DID THE OTHER COMMENT THEN YOUR WRONG. LOL. U SHOULD KNOW THAT RIPLEY HELD A PERSONAL GRUGE AGAINST THE ALIEN BECAUSE OF HER EXPERIENCE ON THE NOSTROMO. IF I WERE YOU ID CHECK UR FACTS AND OH IF YOU REALLY HAVE A SIGNED COPY OF THE DVD THEN U HAVE TO POST PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN. I DONT SEE YOU DOING ANY PICTURES SO STOP TALKING WRITE NOW BECAUSE IM A NAVY SEAL AND I DONT WANA HAVE TO COME OVER THERE.

WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS RUBBISH? HOW DARE YOU TARNISH THE NAME OF ELLEN RIPLEY!!!1 RIPLEY MEANS SO MUCH TO ME. WHAT YOU’VE DONE CAN NEVER BE FORGIVEN. HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST THAT RIPLEY ACTIVELY TOOK UP ARMS AGAINST THE ALIENS. ANY TRUE FAN OF ALIENS WOULD KNOW THAT SHE WAS A RELUCTANT SOLDIER. SHE ONLY TOOK UP ARMS TO PROTECT NEWT!!!!!!1
UNBELIEVABLE. I HOPE YOU’RE HAPPY THAT YOU’VE UPSET A MILLION ALIENS FANS ON THE INTERNETZ.
