    Here's issue two. We're glad that you guys seem to like what we've 
delivered so far. Hopefully we can keep the momentum up and keep churning 
these out. Oh, also now we know to limit it to 75 characters per line. So 
things should look a bit less shitty.

Lulz Recap
===========================================================================

Dramatic Times
-----------------------------------------------------
The Dramatic Times were founded early February. It's ED in your inbox, in 
all its plaintext glory. It's this thing you're reading right now.

http://encyclopediadramatica.com/ED:DT

Fat Man
-----------------------------------------------------
A tale of an obese man who really, really hates sports. It all started with 
"My name is Gerald, I'm 55 years old, 5 ft 6 in and I presently weigh about 
400 pounds" and lead to an /sp/ loller gasm.

http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Fat_Man

Verizon blocks 4chan
-----------------------------------------------------
Some people couldn't access 4chan on their phone for a couple of days. 
Nothing to see here. Not even an article.

Operation Titstorm
-----------------------------------------------------
Pushed to the edge by Senator Stephen Conroy's move to ban small-boobed 
porn and squirting, Anonymous snaps and launches a campaign of Ddos and irl 
dickfuckery against ACMA. Will this be the last we hear from anons in 
Ausfalia?

http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Operation_Titstorm

Project Freeweb
-----------------------------------------------------
The IRL component of Operation Titstorm, meant to separate itself from the 
ddosers for the purpose of being taken seriously. Leave your Guy Fawkes 
masks at home. Srsly.

http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Project_Freeweb

Mill Park Tree
-----------------------------------------------------
In Australia, a defenseless tree was destroyed in a 200kph(lol, metric) 
automobile accident. The car was loaded to the tits with morons and 
driven by an asshole that was loaded to the tits with alcohol. 
Thousands mourned the tree's demise, creating a Facebook page to 
celebrate the tree's purpose-filled life of removing CO2 from the air 
and removing life from the 5 retarded bogans. Friends of the demised 
tree-killers held a miniskirt-and-cigarette filled funeral. Oh yeah, 
this happened in January, oops.

http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Mill_Park_Tree

Epic Beard Man
-----------------------------------------------------
On a YouTube cellphone video taken on Oakland's public transit system, 
a racist black man throws a punch at a 67-year-old white guy. In 
retaliation and self-defense, the elderly man hands his aggressor a 
beating so intense that it brings tears of righteous victory to /b/tards 
everywhere, who embark on a mission to find out who wore the I AM A 
MOTHERFUCKER shirt.

http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Epic_Beard_Man

Vampiricspektor
-----------------------------------------------------
Alex "Romantic" Temple trolls the 500th person to attempt to take down ED 
with alleged psychic powers and a tumorous lump on his forehead the size 
of a walnut. This saga gets the editor's choice award for the month and 
extra points for the best hate art gallery since Duke Otterland.

http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Vampiricspektor

Get yoself some ED history and learn about the many possible ways to take 
down our wonderful website.

http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Taking_Down_ED


Pennsylvania Pedo Cam
-----------------------------------------------------
Pedophiles, drugs, and highschools. Nuff said.

http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Pennsylvania_Pedo_Cam

Incarnate
-----------------------------------------------------
Nick Simmons, son of Gene Simmons of KISS, revealed himself to be a common 
DeviantArt tracer. Cool plagiarism bro.

http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Incarnate

Trinity Bates
-----------------------------------------------------
Pretty white girl kidnapped and likely killed. You know the drill.

http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Trinity_Bates


Robot Unicorn Attack

Letters to the editor
===========================================================================
Reprinted from http://forums.encyclopediadramatica.com/showthread.php?t=3046 
(paid EDF users only)
Q: Did the owners always plan ED to be so associated with trolling?
A: Girlvinyl did not intend originally for ED to be a trollpedia. However, 
ED had a lot of basis in LJ Drama. Originally it could've been described as 
what would happen if LJ Drama fucked Wikipedia.

LJ Drama was largely run by trolls. In fact, Encyclopedia Dramatica's 
purpose has always been to catalogue internet drama. The site would expand
 in some other ways, but drama has been a constant.

For a while, ED was associated with Bantown. Many GNAA members, past and 
present, have been major contributors. The president of the GNAA, Andrew 
A. Weevlos, is still an influential sysop.

While GV did not originally intend it to be associated with trolling, the 
scope of the site implied this is what was to happen. Articles in the 
first week of ED included Almost Raped and Serious Business, laying 
the ground work for dramacrats everywhere.

Luv,
Sheneequa
