Barbaro message board vs. Deadspin

[Mik]

It's hilarious and never stops cracking me up. I figured I'd let you guys take a look if you don't read Deadspin.

 

Basically, the backstory is that Barbaro has a message board and a lot of people have gotten really carried away with it. Leaving very long messages FOR A HORSE about how inspirational it is and how they are praying for him. The messages are almost always accompanied by Bible verses, etc, and the whole thing is very funny and very sad at the same time. Well, Deadspin pointed it out and now they have a little war going on with the people at the Barbaro message board, who have predictably responded with responses that sounded like they were crafted by 5 year olds.

 

Here's some links if you have 15-20 minutes to kill and want a chuckle...

Deadspin's take

 

"Let's get one thing straight: right off the bat. It's a FUCKING horse."

 

I'll also use this post as a reminder that if you aren't reading Deadspin on a daily basis, you should be.

Yeah, a lot of those people are going too far, and the care that a horse is getting is questionable... but, it's wrong to insult others just because they love horses or animals.

Some message board nerds are having forum-wars with horse-lovers. Whoop de fucking doo!

Not quite. It's a sports website.

 

And these people are horse lovers. They're crazy. One of the posts on the message board (no longer on there) called Barbaro the second Christmas miracle and an inspiration to millions and it wasn't a joke.

You post something from Deadspin, and it's not the John Rocker interview??!! For shame...
