The only thing that's worse than a hippie is a yuppie. They thing they're so big since they have reservations at the Four Seasons and do coke in the bathroom. :p:p

Help me out. WTF is 4chan? I've seen posts and stuff all over the net relating to them. WTF are they? Sounds like a bunch of retards based only on the 3rd party opinions I"ve seen.

It's some stupid imageboard site where society's rejects can post their Bullshit. They took an image of Patrick Bateman pointing at a stereo and made this retarded "Doubles" meme. If I was Patrick Bateman, I would find them and give them an AXE TO THE FACE for making a craptacular meme out of me, just like what I did to Jared Leto. ;)

Diarrhea of the Internet, no need to investigate further.

You wanna see some shitting dick nipples? No? Then don't go to 4chan.

Yeah, 4chan is one freaky place

Okay I won't go there. You sold me.

but why called 4Chan. Did some dude named CHAN start it?

According to the first paragraph of wikipedia it was intended to be an American counterpart to the Japanese version called 2 chan (figured it would be japanese).

It was started by a guy from New York named Christopher Poole aka "moot" as a splinter group from SomethingAwful. The name 4chan comes from 2chan, a Japanese website that 4chan was modelled after, 2chan being an abbreviation of the English translation of the site's proper Japanese name; Futaba Channel (in English: Two Leaf Channel).
