Paris
As a Hero of the Internet, I am a Crusader in the war of getting people with eating disorders to eat like normal human beings. I am the harbinger of self esteem and food. Bacon is my sword and a crusty roll of carbohydrates is my shield. My milkshake brings all the Ana to the yard. They’re like. Made of skin and bones. I’m like. Have a calzone. I could feed you, but you’d bite my hand.
How will I help? Simple.
Using standard internet mastery, the Scattered Genius team and I have replaced the hotlinked image with this:
(Direct link: http://www.evilzug.com/stuff/poopandfartjokes/pics/paris.jpg)
It’s a giant .jpg that Bryne created with helpful instructions on How to Eat a Sammich! The size of the image will break their l33t layouts, and the size of the message will break their ana-tastic perspective and hopefully they will take heed and some smack will be sensed into them. We’ve also supplied a link to this discovery report, as well as my email address for any of these poor souls to write to. Thank you Bryne! You are a Hero of the Internet.
So now we wait and watch the healing happen.
HELP JOIN THE CRUSADE.
What can you do to help?
As days progress, please do what you can to document the following:
- The removal of the image.
- Any posted comments spawning from members of this community.
- Any more helpful tips on how to eat delicious food.
Please keep in mind that not all of these people are Anorexic or have eating disorders, and might just like Paris Hilton. Still, they hotlinked, so we get to laugh at their expense for being dirty dirty bandwidth stealers!!!!!!!!
Below is a list of the journals and communities that have hotlinked the picture. Keep in mind that the posts may have been bumped off of the front page, so you might have to do some digging to find them. I’ve made a few direct links to the posts that the images are linked in! Ana communities are in BOLD.
edit: if you get the message ‘Sorry, the page you have requested could not be found or is no longer public’ DO NOT WORRY; it means Xanga is down. It’s a horribly stupid and deceptive message because it makes it seem like it’s your fault, when it’s really THEIR FAULT >_<. Check back later.
As I am usually occupied with El Internetto Matteros (The Matters of the Internet) I cannot always be as vigilant as I like. Document them by taking screenshots and emailing me. You can also email me directly at evilzug@evilzug.com! Any progress made on the matter will be posted here, so check back.

- Problems caused by hotlinking!
- What is hotlinking?
What is the lesson to learn from all of this?
- Keep young girls away from girlie magazines and the media.
- Hate the Olson Twins with every bone in your body because they are ‘role models’ and are broadcasting the image that starving yourself is RADICAL!
- One of the xangas didn’t link Paris, but actually a picture of the Olson Twins, (Yeah he’d hate fuck them too.). Whatever song is on the MKA_Obsession_4EVAOMG community is pretty hot; however it’s a teeny bopper song and I donno if we should be thinking about La-La-ing on the kitchen floor?
- If you think the only ‘troubled youth’ of today are the ones wearing black clothes and listening to different music, you are SORELY mistaken. Take a look into the lives of some of these girls.
- Look at the top of this page for the thing from tickerfactory.com - nice little helpful tool to track when the last time you ate was… -_-
- This currently broken tool helps them visualize their fantasy screwed up-ness
- Pray that these girls never become web designers.
- I want a sammich.
- Wee, bulletpoints!
- I feel old.
- Maddes of the mad props to Cyberangel and Bryne for the drawlings.
