🎨 Artcow Iconoclast / Jonathan Mack Sweet - The Chris-Chan of Arkansas

[MarineTrainedTard]

Sweet is so goddamn anti-"progressive" that he can't even make any progress with his own life

 

[TheUltimatePickle]

I like how he thinks $40,000 a year is a lot of money, that's almost poverty level in most cities.

 

[Adamska]

Been a while since the crazy deformed manchild gave me enough rope to hang him by the bollocks. Let's go:

One, no, I didn't throw then under the bus. I just made a point.

The point that Jonny boy made is that unlike his functional and decent brothers, he's a horrible subhuman mutant that takes advantage of others and only looks after himself.

I went to college, and it was a pretty bad one at that.

And how long are ya gonna stick with this narrative Jonny? I'm askin' since I fully predict you'll yo-yo back and call it "Eden" again.

]My mid was poisoned by the insane rules, misinformation and prejudices I was taught in that bizarre alien place that exists outside the laws of God or man. Theirs weren't.

No, you got booted for being an autistic malignant narcissist and have kept the grudge up on on your own for fucking decades. Your brothers on the other hand are normal human beings.

Two... again, no, you have your information wrong-- my brother isn't an EMT. That's what happens when you get all your information from the yammering, double-talking misinformation factory that is The kiwi Fruits.

And this is why whenever you talk about your murderous coworkers, I see it as projection. Because of statements like this. It's called an error bro; people are allowed to make them. Hell, they actually allow you to learn more than if you succeeded sometimes.

They're a cheap propaganda mill run by ivory-tower America-hating sneering elitist self-hating progressives who try to deny that that they are progressives to sound a hell of a lot better than they really are.

That's why we have people of all stripes here ranging from fascists to anarchists. But eh, you'd rather die with a delusion than live with reality. It'd be sad if it wasn't for your toxic personality and how you fuck up everything by yourself.

Thirdly, journalism is more than about the writing.

Ya, it's about research and not being a plagiarist. I really have no fucking clue why you decided to pick this particular field. It was probably something pathetic like you read it in a Stephen King book or something like that.

If it was I would have no problem getting back into that field. It's all one big popularity contest.

No, it's actually about "being first with the story" or "being the most right with what happened" last I checked. I dunno though, since just like you, Journalism isn't my major.

It's about having to deal with a bunch of bloated, poisoned egos day in and day out, hobbling your creativity because all the management wants to do is print empty puff pieces about what your cereal preference says about you rather than tackle the hard issues of the day with a scathing opinion piece about the newest scandal in Washington or the latest fuckery out of our nation's declining, apathetic school system, and trying not to get on the bad side ofby some third-rate hack who is jealous because you've published your column on something which very few people give a shit about in the first place and you're getting better goodies from the fans than they did because you actually put some time, thought, and effort into your piece rather than cut-and-pasted the latest mass e-mail forward about the top ten fun things to do at Wal-Mart.

First off, fuck off with these run-ons from hell. This is something that really reinforces that you barely skimmed by on your classes, probably because you pissed away study and work time in the break room to watch kiddie shows.

Second off, you do the assignment that your boss tells you in the bigger news outfits last I checked. It's why you might sometimes see the human interest writer do a science piece; they might care more about the human element, but the higher ups want them to write a moving piece to get people interested in a topic they might not read otherwise. If you really wanted to be independent, then that's why we suggested you do things like write for Cracked or another website like it, or to open up a real people blog and set up adds.

Third, you're still lying to yourself about what happened, mainly because I'm pretty sure you know it was your fault, but can't accept it since you tasted Eden and got booted due to sin. I especially find the fact that you're still defending college pranks as gifts to be fucking hilarious, mainly since you rationalized getting less money a week in pennies than I did doing basic chores as a child as a bounty is utterly side-bursting.

Little wonder no one gives a shit about newspapers anymore.

Ya, the glorious progress of technology made them worthy only of lining birdcages or making paper mache.

Seeing how those assholes act over a handful of pennies and a couple of drink bottles, I'd be scared to If I did work for one of the big rags, pulling in $40,000 a year, and then dared to get an extra two or three grand as a bonus or something because I dared to show a little ambition and do a little more than the bare minimum for once, because they might freak out and cut my throat.

lol you keep forgetting that the reason why your coworkers kept complaining to the higher ups,not wanting to murder since that's your base impulse you subhuman ape, is because you acted like a complete spazz. You tried making yourself the center of attention by screaming jokes at inappropriate times, stood awkwardly right behind people and made noises to get their attention, and regularly cursed them out for minor things. Even then, all they did was boot your fat ass from a paper.

This hyperbole is clear proof of one of two things. Either you are projecting your own mental issues on others, or you're using this as an excuse to die in a hovel once Ma dies and you're too retarded to be able to fend for yourself. Either hypothesis marks you as a complete joke.

I'd be better invested spending my work day trying to figure out how to trade half a dozen bottle of Grey Goose and a couple of basketball tickets from my cheap one-size-fits-all, why-bother-trying-chump-everyone-gets-the-same-fucking-shit-regardless freebie gift bag for the three cartons of candy cigarettes and a stroke-book that I really want.

I don't know what to say to this level of financial incompetence other than:
https://kiwifarms.net/attachments/fuckingidiot-png.111108/

1) if they wanted you to know, they'd put it at their own Facebook sites. wouldn't they?

Jonny's being a petulant baby over how overshadowed he is by his younger brothers. Amazing what basic competence and social skills can get, eh?

2) Do you love progress? Do you demand and push for progress? Yes? If so, then you are a progressive. Simple as that, end of story.

"Wise Progressivism and wise Conservatism go hand in hand" ~ Theodore Roosevelt

Funnily enough Jonny is kinda right on this, in a childish way. Progressivism tends to be for scientific and social progress, and isn't easily tied to Liberal/Conservative ideology; you can be a Progressive Conservative just as you can be a Progressive Liberal. Not that Jonny would know that, since he doesn't know the difference between Status Quo and Stagnancy.

3) I'd like the goodies in addition to my regular salary, not instead of it. Another thing your bumbling Kiwi buddies get wrong.

That's why you show far more interest in getting rubbish than you do in the idea of working a part-time Job to get even more money than the Tug-boat you get.

A lot of small-time newspaper folk and bloggers live on the freebies they get from fans or corporate sponsorship, and a standard gift bag is simply too limiting.

Citation pls. No, personal anecdotes don't count by themselves Jonny. If you really were a journalist, you'd know that.

I like the thought of getting a small kickback appropriate to what you're writing about... I want x, I write a piece on x's, somebody sends me all the x's I could want. That is how things worked before. I want that way again.

Honestly, you're sounding like you wanna be a reviewer or something akin to say... Ashens or the AVGN, since even when trying to refute the idea you care for getting money, you show more interest in getting the garbage. I'd tell you how to do it, but it's about 375 pages too late for me to wanna help you on it.

 

[Chan the Wizard]

I like how he thinks $40,000 a year is a lot of money, that's almost poverty level in most cities.

Eh, only on the coasts and other major cities.
Midwest, south, especially where Sweet is it's a fairly decent amount. The cost of living is much, much lower.

I'm more amused that what he's describing is a bribe.

 

[AJMLurker]

Is anyone else amused by Sweet's huge ass ego that prevents him from seeing himself for the failure that he is? How does that work? Being so retarded that you don't realize you're retarded?

It truly is surreal seeing Sweet try to argue for why he isn't a fuck-up. Dude is so mentally fucked up that he can't make the connection. If I can't stand Sweet from his online postings, it must be a living hell for his family members to deal with him.

 

[MrsFrizzle]

"A small kickback" gets you fired from any journalism job so fast that your head would spin. You can't even let an interview subject buy you a cup of coffee. If a newspaper or magazine does get a small but tangible consumable item to review (a new kind of jam, for instance, or a lipstick) the reporter is allowed to keep whatever's left over, but if it's something like lawn furniture or the latest bicycle, the company either lends it for a set time, or the newspaper donates it to charity after the review is completed.

Now, bloggers, that's a different story. They do get free shit in return for endorsements. Riddle me this, then, Sweetiepie: why don't you write a blog and get some of those "courtesy of" goodies flowing your way?

He is so dumb that calling him "retarded" would be a horrendous insult to people who bag groceries and compete in the Special Olympics, each of whom is a motherfucking Einstein or Marie Curie compared to Sweetums.

 

[Dr. Merkwurdichliebe]

I like how he thinks $40,000 a year is a lot of money, that's almost poverty level in most cities.

In Mississippi County, Arkansas, the median household income is $34,424.

The Stalking Horror would be livin' high on the hog with an income of $40k a year.

Has anyone else noticed that the Violent Moon-faced Lunatic's already sub-literate writing skills have taken a nosedive recently? Aside from waking up in a pool of suety sweat every morning because of no air-conditioning, has some new element of stress been introduced into the life of the crown prince of the Mold Kingdom? Personally, I'm hoping that he's agitated because his long-lost big brother, Leonard F. Shaner Jr., is being reunited with his birth family and will be moving into Casa Sweet later this month.

And I also want to know how we can all be ivory-tower progressive when I'm constantly labeled a Nazi. Antworten Sie mich, Daumenschädel!

Edit To Add: Isn't the Autistic Plagiarist returning "in triumph" to Arkansas State University this fall? Why isn't he posting about this? Where are the pictures of the thousands of Mason jars of the U.S. Strategic Urine Reserve in their packing cases? Has the magic wig that will allow him to pass for 20 been purchased? When do classes begin? So many questions, but no answers.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

ivory-tower America-hating sneering elitist self-hating progressive

Sweet just can't accept that there are conservative patriotic Americans on the Farms who would probably see Sweet as a sad man filled with rage, grudges, and taco salad.

 

[Chan the Wizard]

Has Jon ever admitted to being autistic before?

I think he got catastrophically angry and in denial when we levied it at him. So 'tism confirmed, now we just need the malignant narcissism or antisocial personality disorder to be detected or proven.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

I have an encyclopedic memory for TV shows[...]

So that's how he thinks he's smarter than us!

 

[Dr. Merkwurdichliebe]

Congtats to HSMOF for getting Thumbskull to confess to several lies.

As we all know, when the Stalking Horror posts anything like the following, it means, "Yeah, you caught me lying":

"Blah blah blah blah yab yab yab yabyabyabyab shut up."

When he starts running his "yabs" together, makes no attempt at punctuation and italicizes the "up" in "shut up," you know he's been confronted with something he truly hates -- God's own truth.

EDIT TO ADD & AVOID A DP:

Let's take a dispassionate (just kidding) look at some of the statements recently excreted into the Violent Moon-faced Lunatic's private cesspool on DeviantArt.

Utterly Disconnected From Reality wrote:
So I'll get a nice fat out-of-court settlement, then. Either way, I win. It'll spare everyone the bother and embarrassment of a trial that could turn into a huge circus, and then I can use the money to rebuild my life the way I see fit. College-living hotel, here I come.

This? Again? How is he going to get an out-of-court settlement when he hasn't even filed suit? HSMOF asks him what the statute of limitations is in Arkansas for the frivolous case Thumbskull has been threatening to file since the late 1990s. No answer. So I'll provide one.

Here are the statutes of limitations on various civil actions in Arkansas:

Injury to Person: 3 yrs. §16-56-104
Libel/Slander: Libel -- 3 yrs. §16-56-105 Slander -- 1 yr. §§16-56-104
Fraud Common law fraud and fraud and deceit: 3 yrs. §16-56-105
Injury to Personal Property: 3 yrs. §16-56-105
Professional Malpractice Legal: 3 yrs. §16-56-105; Medical: 2 yrs. §16-114-203
Trespass: 3 yrs. §16-56-105
Collection of Rents: 3 yrs. §16-56-105
Contracts Written: 5 yrs. §16-56-111; Oral: 3 yrs. §16-56-105
Collection of Debt on Account: 3 yrs. if not written or under seal §16-56-105
Judgments: 10 yrs. §16-56-114

Looks like he's about 15 years too late to sue anyone. What a moron. There will be no trial. Anyone he tries to sue will simply say, "Statute of limitations." (If he's suing ASU, they'll also say, "Sovereign immunity.") After which, the judge will say, "Case dismissed. With prejudice." Of course, no lawyer would ever take his case going on two decades after the deadline to file. That way disbarment lies -- plus paying the defendant's legal expenses.

Well, we'll just let's the courts decide that, won't we, fuckface?

No. See above. No court will hear your idiotic, whining, meritless case at this late date.

The Stalking Horror wrote:
I had my own caller ID box on the phone in my room. They had one communal VCR in the dorm, and you had to sign that out. So unless you had your own set and recorder (which I didn't), the point is moot.

He's not smart enough to trick a washing machine into doing his laundry, but he wants us to believe that he installed his own Buck Rogers caller-ID box on a phone line in 1997. A patently ludicrous idea. Might as well claim that he built a cyclotron. And plenty of college students -- maybe even most -- had VCRs in their dorm rooms in 1997. Consumer VCRs were introduced in 1979 -- when the Farting Eejit was four years old -- and were utterly commonplace (except in the Mold Kingdom) by the mid-'90s.

His Imperial Majesty, The Crown Prince of the Mold Kingdom wrote:
I was fired, pure and simple. Signing the paper was a mere formality, just a stunt to rob me of my dignity.

It must have been quite the termination ceremony if it managed to rob the Campus Buffoon of his . . . dignity. We're talking someone who worked overtime to ensure that he didn't possess a single molecule of dignity, much less a quantity large enough to steal. Maybe he meant to write that it was "just a stunt to rob me of my urine collection."

Unclear On The Concept wrote:
. . . for all its problems, it's really all I understand, that world, that small journalistic bubble. So I fight to keep it alive.

What kind of imbecile fights to keep a bubble alive? Does he really think bubbles are alive? Or is this just another example of his sub-literate inability to write in a manner that isn't unintentionally humorous?

People who work for newspapers or other legitimate news outlets and who write articles in exchange for a "small kickback" get fired. They get fired immediately. And they get fired for good. End of story.

I Am Clinically Insane wrote:
Reality is simply what those in power say it is. The only difference between a sophomoric prank and a lucrative business model is whoever is in charge of it at the time. It's all a matter of how you look at things. Perception is plastic. With enough wealth and power in your hands, reality itself can be bent to your will. Therefore, perception becomes reality. Thus the world itself is malleable, and money is the prism through which it bends.

This is literally gibberish, the screeching of someone who is simply insane.

I haven't been on here much because I've been working out of state a lot plus covering all these BLM protests in my home city.

Oh God, this makes me laugh. Jonny the Retarded Maniac can't even get the case heard because he pissed it away crying and stalking and threatening those fine fellas at ASU. Looks like he's gonna need to fall back to his base impulses and standard mode of operation now:

Only he'd still fuck it up like he did when he tried to kill Druggie Bro.

That must be why he lasted so long as a "journalist." Seven words, three of them in the wrong place. That's our Thumbskull. (A literate person, even a literate child, would have written, "Journalism is about more than the writing." )

Bachelor's in English, and that's his writing ability.

Hey, I found a new theme song for Sweet.

 

[Bungleboy]

It's been way too quiet on the Farty Freeloader's end. I miss the knuckleneck dearly. Here's something I've been pondering: Would Sweetums' comic qualify as 'outsider art'?

To me, it hits all the usual qualifiers, artist has no formal training, exists outside the established community, is mentally ill or antisocial...

 

[Shadow Fox]

I don't know about that. The label "outsider art" suggests that the artist isn't concerned with the impact they make on the viewer or whether they're adhering to a particular aesthetic. Jon Boy consciously attempts to imitate established art styles, e.g. the cartoony look of animated shows he watched when he was younger, and he wholeheartedly believes that the world will realize his genius and flock to him as he preaches about the wonders of life at half-past 1997. He wants to be accepted by the general public, he just fails at it spectacularly because he thinks his half-assed production methods are working juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust fine.

Nailed it.

Having just looked at many, many pages of results for a Google images search of "outsider art," I have to say that Sweet is about as far from being a member of that group as possible. The one attribute that seems to characterize outsider art is astonishing creativity.

Creativity on any level is one of many artistic credentials that Sweet does not possess at all. With the exception of his endless revenge fantasies -- and there's nothing original about them -- he gleefully admits that everything he does is a homage or a tribute or an allusion. He even names the works that he is honoring by creating outlandishly inferior copies.

Because he's an outsider with the rudimentary artistic skills of a modestly talented -- and untutored -- fourth-grader does not make what he produces "outsider art."
