Something Awful is a comedy website and accompanying forum notable for being where one of the very first online discussions about Chris took place.
The Post That Started It All
On 26 October 2007, a user on the website (otherwise known as a "goon"), Vikivil, made this post on a thread about fellow lolcow Ulillillia:
| There really must be something about Sonic.
This guy used to leave 'business cards' at my school's library where he would hang out for hours looking for a 'boyfriend-free girl.' This is how I first learned of him. From here, I developed something of an obsession, culminating last summer when I made a special trip to a gaming store and local hangout where he had posted he would be. He was every bit as aspergic as I had imagined. I present to you...Sonichu. The video on that page. Priceless. |
The topic of that thread shifted to Chris and his antics, and provided so much discussion that a new thread devoted to him was created on the following day, mainly to bring the Ulilia thread back on-topic. Discussion of Chris spread to other websites, and the rest is history.
