For people who may be too young to remember the Sneetches: "The Sneetches are a race of odd creatures who live on a beach. Some Sneetches have a star on their bellies, and in the beginning of the story the presence or absence of a star is the basis for discrimination. Sneetches who have stars on their bellies are part of the "in crowd", while Sneetches without stars are shunned.

+2

In the story, a "fix-it-up" chappie named Prof. Sylvester McMonkey McBean appears, driving a cart of strange machines. He offers the Sneetches without stars a chance to have them by going through his Star-On machine, for three dollars. The old star-bellied Sneetches are furious until McBean tells them about his Star-Off machine, costing ten dollars. This escalates, with the Sneetches running from one machine to the next.

+2

This continues until the Sneetches are penniless and McBean leaves a rich man. In the end, the Sneetches learn that neither plain-belly nor star-belly Sneetches are superior, and they are able to get along and become friends.

+2

The story is an obvious parable for the cycle of fashion and how snobbery and insecurity drive consumerism to consumers' own detriment. It contains the messages that all people regardless of race, class or clothing, are equal, and that the human temptation to judge people by their appearance or by the company they seem to keep is full of pitfalls.

The synopsis is from Wikipedia.

the thought process behind this wins.

..D: i drooeldz on miself!

"It contains the messages that all people regardless of race, class or clothing, are equal." No, they're not. People who wear larger pant sizes are typically taller and/or larger than the others. Also, the real message is to discriminate based on important things such as wealth, penis size, and grills. In the end of the story they all chase after McBean and become friends with him because he is rich and knows how to abuse the weaklings for profit.

its all coming back to me now

you should make the sad one red, but a different shade, so the stars dont blend in

Seems like Max would have made that connection. Guess not. I think this is a bad idea, this community is already segregated enough as it is.

+3

Since Max always complains about so many sh*tty sites, instead of being part of the problem (by encouraging user segregation), there SHOULD be a section where "tutorial" ytmnd's only are listed, and are put in that section if they're appropriately tagged (say, if the only keyword is tutorial, or some sh*t like that). That way, a newbie can go and click on a tutorial site, looking for tips on something they're having trouble with, say with sync, or creating a gif, or whatever. THAT is beneficial, not this.

+5

I think the problem is more one of taste than one of quality. Sh*tty sites can (and often are) better than their expertly crafted fad bullsh*t. It doesn't matter how high quality your image and sound of a Spartan baking a cake with Brian Peppers singing songs about how much they love little girls, it's just cliché, tired, and pathetic.

Dont understand why some people ive never heard of are pink.

+2

It's to my understanding, that pink is awarded to users who have at least 5 sites, that have at least 4.01 stars each. I could be wrong, but that's what I read.

Not true. See detalub0 above.

this is hilarious, for those who've read that seuss story. first pink site that was actually funny. :P
