[edit] Waste of Time

I, like probably many other naive wikipedians, read the wikipedia humor page ("BJAODonica"), which lead me to GNAA, and was tempted to downloaded the torrented movie.

This movie is a waste of time and bandwidth. I get the jokes, but they are not funny enough to waste 25 minutes of precious time which could be used for link disambiguation, homework, cooking, or other productive activities. P.S. Plus i wasted a few more minutes trying to decypher what the Chinese man says. It sounds like reverse audio, which it probably is, but when i reversed it, it wasn't English. I don't think it was Chinese either. Maybe it was Korean. Anyway, don't waste your time on this.--Amir E. Aharoni 07:28, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Pssst, get a sense of humor.

I have sense of humor, this movie has unfunny jokes.

This is not the place to discuss the qualities of this movie - i'm just telling fellow wikipedians to find something better to do.--Amir E. Aharoni 08:39, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm, if this isn't the place to discuss the qualities of the movie than it isn't the place to discuss it's failings?

What does all that have to do with the wiki? 24.239.129.219 04:14, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Whether the movie was a waste of time or not is worth noting - if you can find a source detailing the quality or high or low ratings of the movie. If not, then it is just your personal opinion and not a part of an encyclopedic work. Dkceaser 02:17, 23 January 2007 (UTC)--Dkceaser

[edit] Facts

Ok, so as one might expect, this article is pretty sketchy. Not too surpising considering we're essentially dealing with a bunch of internet lore. I reworded the "cult status" section with proper grammar and a less informal tone. I also intially added a bunch of ^{[citation needed]} requests. This, however was before I found a link to at least one forum discussing the film at the bottom of the page. More would be nice, but this may be all we can ask for. Perhaps we should even consider removing some of the more questionable claims in the article. Specifically I've left the citation reqest for this initial IMDB reivew. Though it has now been removed, perhaps we could find it somewhere. Maybe it doesn't even bear mentioning. Who is this guy with the defunct anime site anyway? They guy who originally wrote the blurb? I think I've spent as much time as I care to on this semi-rediculous article. Please manually add more citation requests rather than reverting if you see them as necessary, there are other subtle rewordings that I think should be kept. Kevmitch 06:05, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Great. So I know I said I was done with this page, but lo-and-behold an anonymous user has dug up the legendary review! Now we're still at the point of whether its wiki worthy enough to mention. If it is decided to leave it in, is it adequate to link to a google cache? What happened to the original post on this forum? How long will a google cache last after a page has dissapeared?

To what degree is the account of the rise of the film to cult status generally accepted among the internet community? I might suspect that an alternative telling would have the film rise to noteriety through GNAA. Or perhaps this IMDB legend (if it can be called that) did in fact preceed. We need to establish some sort of verifiable timeline. Kevmitch 07:13, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

So, is there any truth to the rumor that this film has any ties to the GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) Centrisian (talk) 09:27, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Torrent links

Do we really need the torrent links? Could this get the wiki in legal troubles? I'm guessing no since it's really got no organizations behind it and therefore no big sticks, but still... I suppose a link to BitTorrent wouldn't hurt. --~~--TIB (talk) 05:10, Sep 19, 2004 (UTC)

I wondered the same thing. One assumes this short film is copyrighted, and all, and we really shouldn't be violating it. We don't link to ROMs of video games which have articles. - Vague | Rant 06:51, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)

It's both legal and a useful link which should be kept. -- Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 07:17, 2004 Dec 28 (UTC)

[edit] Niggers?

I'm curious as to why the dreaded racial epithet was attached to "gay" in the name of the film. Does anybody have any idea? [[User:DO'Neil|DO'Иeil]] 03:19, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)

Probably because it sounds funny, Gayniggers from outer space sounds funnier than gays from outer space, i doubt the reasons are any deeper than that. -- Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 07:50, 2004 Sep 21 (UTC)

It's obvious (to me anyway). Gayniggers From Outer Space sounds a lot like Gravediggers From Outer Space which was the original title of Edward D. Wood Jr.'s Plan 9 From Outer Space before his investors (a church group) vocally frowned upon "gravedigging". Spelling "Gayniggers" as one compound word instead of two words makes the title unmistakeable in its homage and its intent to portray an even more offensively-named group of aliens than the original.— FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 11:06, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)

I agree with the previous post. However, as a gay African-American, who has to deal constantly with racial discrimination in the gay community, creating the term Gayniggers, I believe, is an attempt to acknowlege the special subset of discrimation that we as people of African descent face specifically in the gay community. I question if it needs to be one word or not. I did hear that some the men who produced this were African-Dutch in origin, and in the Dutch language the term "Gaynigger" (Schwulnegger-in german- sorry i speak german but Dutch is similar) is possible Dkceaser 02:14, 23 January 2007 (UTC)Dkceaser

Only the interstellar gayniggers. You're not from the planet Anus are you? I suppose they're not talking about you then. Comradeash (talk) 16:56, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Wtf this is a movie?

[edit] Dino De Laurentus

Dino De Laurentus was most likely a joke pseudonym to sound like the famous producer Dino De Laurentiis. IMDB has the real credits.

[edit] Payne's Review

It should probably be made more clear that the scenes (or the so-called protagonist it mentions) from that review are not actually in the movie. I read through this wikipedia page then read teh IMDB review and was very dissapointed to not be able to hear that song when I watched the movie (:sarcasm:). Oh, and that movie is a waste of time. Even if there are one or two sources, I'm not sure I'd count it as notable. 75.177.176.6

[edit] Payne's Original Review

I copied and pasted it years ago I thought it was so funny... It should be part of the main page but I dont know how to get it there:

Date: 3 April 2003 Summary: juvenile and purile but well made

A really strange peice of cinema. This short film runs only about 20mins and is chock full of homophobic humor and juvenile jokes, but nevertheless its quite well made and directed. Seek it out just so you can say you've seen it.

Summary: The gay nigger movie to end all gay nigger movies . . .

When the first gay nigger walks onto the screen, you know you're in for a real treat. It is almost to impossible articulate, in words, the sheer, visionary brilliance of this film.

Julien Garneau-Proulx gives the performance of his life as the janitor's son. Although he spends most of his time cleaning his father's bath house, and he dies rather early at the hands of the Super Gay Nigger, he leaves an unforgettable impression on the audience.

The music is amazing as well. "Gay Niggers Eat Pigs and Fly on Penises Made of Ham and Brown Ham, Because They're Gay Niggers" is an oscar-worthy song. This song plays during the scene when Gay Nigger Jim rapes a toilet and explodes, and unless you're souless, it will make you cry.
