WOS Van.  Sorry, but DO NOT WANT

a reference I'n not getting.

Sorry, Internet-meme reference.



at the risk of sounding like an old fart (which i totally cop to being), that's a sad comment on where we're at as a culture, no?


This one's got an interesting origin, though: "DO NOT WANT is another phrase coined ... at 4chan’s /b/ board. It originated from horrible English subtitles of the Chinese version of Star Wars Episode III into Engrish, where instead of Darth Vader saying, “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” near the final minutes of the film, the subtitles say, “Do not want.”
