The bowdlerisation of today's internet continues to annoy me. To be clear, the joke is traditionally "HAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS".

    I'm always thankful for archive.org, but extremely so for preserving bash.org. Now excuse me while I put on my wizard hat and robe.

  Also, the form that appears in the article isn't really a joke. A big part of what makes the original funny isn't just the form of the "attack" but the content itself, in particular the contrast between the formality of "disregard that" and the vulgarity of "I suck cocks". If it hadn't been so vulgar, or if it had said "ignore" instead of "disregard", it wouldn't be so funny. Edit: Also part of what makes it funny how succinct and sudden it is. I think actually it would still be funny with "ignore" instead of "disregard", but it would be lessened a bit.

  I'm glad I wasn't alone in finding it ridiculous/annoying. The version in the post isn't even a joke anymore...

  The article does at least note that in the 'Other Notes' section at the bottom, and links to the original form: > I bowdlerised the original "disregard that" joke, heavily.
