Yahoo SeriousEvery asshole with a cable modem thinks he can make a mint on the internet by selling useless crap. (Real grade-A douchebags call this a passive income muse. No joke.)

Why should be any different? Introducing the first offering of the Overthinking It Store. Buy quick, before this combination of memes expires, or before we get a cease-and-desist order from Mr. Serious. I give it 72 hours.

    I think Serious might actually do it; he is a litigious little bugger

    You know, Serious could probably do more with the Yahoo trademark than Yahoo! could at this point.

    At the very least, he’s probably more solvent and less likely to be the victim of a hostile takeover.

    And isn’t there a fun Australian word we can call him rather than “bugger?” Like a “dill” or a “bitzer?” The Internet tells me those are real Australian slang.

    By the way, for the record, I would love a a cease and desist from Yahoo Serious, provided he signs it himself, because I’d love his autograph. When I saw it, _Reckless Kelly_ was some of the funniest shit I had ever seen. The man is a genius.
