Rihanna to be drawn, quartered by FIFA for touching sacred World Cup Trophy (replica)

We got people calling Rihanna a whore and that she has fucking AIDS in this thread and Pop fans are the crazy ones?

There will always be one or two posters who go into a thread and say something crazy or incredibly offensive. They are usually banned and they go away. Cliquey behavior is so obnoxious because it literally never lends itself to good posting or discussion. It's not a specific jab against PopGAF either, but against a lot of the different cliques on the site. There's nothing wrong with community threads or groups based around a common interest, but when the posters go to related threads in OT and dominate them with vapid posting and memes, it can get pretty annoying.

*Braces for hate*
 
Yeah because google is the only way to judge fame

Welp. What other quick analysis would you suggest? Social media followers? Because Rihanna is the second most liked person in Facebook, the second biggest instagram celeb and among the biggest on Twitter.

I mean, if that's not a decent metric for fame and relevance then...

...among the areas of the world that has access to the internet.

It's hard to use a single search engine which is popular in english-speaking countries as a metric through which the entire world's interests, including in countries where computers are not as common, are to be judged.

Did you even read my other posts?

Is your whole life built around the internet? There's other stuff out there you know!

I would expect nothing less from someone who created this thread with that title, from that silly celeb story. Honestly I can't believe you created this thread, tricked me into looking in it and then annoyed me enough to post. Joke's on me I guess lol
 
But the rumors were that Rihanna was intentionally trolling the US by rooting for whichever team stood in their way.

But we didn't even play France/Argentina/Brazil/Colombia!

Rih Rih needs to Fan Up!

Then show us some kind of objective measurement. People like to listen to her music in places with little access to the Internet too.
 
I have a crush on Rihanna,
but having 1/7th of the human population watching a game shows who most people will know.
1 Billion watching, that's over 3x the US population.
Yes the US has a lot of people, but 1 billion people is a lot. :|

A quick Google Trends analysis should tell you Rihanna on average trends 3-4 times higher than Messi and Crisitiano Ronaldo. This has been going for years.



Rihanna is the Queen, breh. Don't question her reign.

Is that world wide?
 
LOL, are my posts not getting through? Is GAF broken? I already said there is no way of measuring.

I'm not sure why you so aggressive. You made a weird claim, I called you out on it, now you're not interested in any further discussion.

Uh...care to post an example of this? Because from what I can see, there are only like 3 PopGAFers posting in this thread consistently, and we're all posting independently of each other.

Are you mad because we happen to agree with each other on matters concerning a pop star?

Or is this more, "OH NO!! A PopGAFer used a gif in their post and I don't get the joke! Let me complain!" crud?

No, I don't feel like searching through the thread for several examples of vapid posting. I already said that it has nothing to do with PopGAF or Rihanna as an artist, and it was more of a statement against GAF cliques and metathreads altogether. I find a lot of the posters from sports metathreads obnoxious at times too. Feel free to continue taking it personally though for some reason.

I wasn't being aggressive mate, I apologise if it came out that way. Read my other posts please.

Anyway, you're right in that I'm not really that interested in discussing this further. I'll leave you guys to it.
 
Let's kill the meta-commentary and blaming, thanks.

I only really have two things to say about this "controversy":

1) That's an ugly trophy.
2) A quick Google search will turn up a ton of pictures of people that are neither footballers nor heads of state touching the trophy -- usually the model girlfriends of footballers.

1) I guess that's subjective....I happen to think it's beauty. But then perhaps that is due to my love of football and the World Cup.

2) Yes common folks are always touching it - I think just doesn't dig Rhianna
 
What right does Rhianna have to celebrate with the German team and hold the Cup?

It does piss me off that a random celebrity gets super-access to something millions of passionate, diehard fans would never, ever get close to having simply because she's famous.

If a rich famous person getting to touch a trophy pisses you off, I can't wait to see your reaction to all the other benefits they enjoy.
 
Reading a thread mixed with Pop GAF and Football GAF is like blending, tequila, ketchup, vinegar, yogurt, pickle juice, whiskey, vodka, maple syrup and hot sauce, and then chugging the entire thing down!

Famous and hot. No footballers are inviting Oprah to touch the cup.

I'd say there's a 1 in 7 chance of this happening.

This comment slipped past me like I was a Brazilian goalie.
 
So this is what it's like when pop GAF and sports GAF meet. Lol Entertaining to say in the least. Would read again.

But yeah lol FIFA. Don't hate guys. Their a nonprofit organization!
