Merged Christian Love Day

Any comments on this? Griffintown 05:11, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Good move. He seems to think he deserves an IRL holiday for what is equivalent to a mini-Holocaust, on the same day the Nazi Party was founded, and which happened only in his imagination. If that isn't massive egotism... --SnorlaXBOX 05:18, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • A "Fun" part to add when we will get his "insight" on this; The Nazi Death-Camps also "Processed" Homosexuals. The parallels are quite enlightening. Griffintown 05:29, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
    • Ah, I feel a fanart coming on for that... AusCWCtz, anyone? --SnorlaXBOX 06:22, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Imagine the look on his face when/if someone tells him his birthday and Christian Love Day are the same day as the Nazi Party's founding! --CWCAttack 05:36, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Damn, where's Clyde and Jack when you need them... ;) Griffintown 05:43, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
    • Finally, someone else who understands my pain! Cash appears to be too busy making video remixes while Jack...at least he kind of did something useful shortly after CWCipedia reopened. Needs more emails supporting Asperchu before he'll be able to tard rage about it in his latest video. Then I can call Jack's latest move to advertise Asperchu yet another awesome blow. --CWCAttack 06:02, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Merged Chris and Fame

Parts of the entry of Chris and Fame was added as an opening for the text. Any comments? Griffintown 06:10, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Awesome job cleaning up and merging. I'm glad to see something's being done to relieve the bloat of "Chris and" pages. --SnorlaXBOX 06:22, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Have to go in and get rid of the redundancy, since the contest and mom coddling are in both the mindset and origins--Blazer 06:25, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • This is a point, I will look at that. Griffintown 06:27, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Organization

Ego is vague. This page should be renamed Chris and Egotism, and organized around the aspects of

  • Egotism: the motivation to maintain and enhance favorable views of oneself. Egotism means placing oneself at the center of one's world with no direct concern for others. Narcissism is an aspect of Egotism.
  • Hubris: extreme haughtiness or arrogance. Hubris often indicates a loss of touch with reality and overestimating one's own competence or capabilities, especially for people in positions of power.

  • Sometimes, vagueness is good. In the "Chris And ..." series, a vague title (like Sex) allows for 3-5 subtitles easily. This being said, the "Hubris" part seems to be covered very well in the Chris and hypocrisy article. Griffintown 03:25, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Yes and no. I agree that Chris and... articles should have general names, but egotism is still a broad topic, and is more descriptive of the content of the article. It's not a coincidence that it's the bolded word in the first sentence =) Ego has other connotations; ego in general means sense of self, and here we're only concerned with the narcissistic aspect. We want to break out egotism (over-emphasis on self) as opposed to egoism (rational selfishness) which we don't really care about. The hypocrite article is right on target but its target is different; Hubris is better illustrated by examples like Chris not getting the high school art award and his anger at losing the Parappa contest. --Dude 03:52, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

This article is way too long. The meat-and-potatoes is (and has been) a decent length, but the lists are getting out of hand. They're practically a catalog of fail, because everything Chris does has an ego component. This article should be pared down to analysis, and leave cataloging for other places. I propose two alternatives:

  1. Move the 'example' lists to a new separate page, similar to the list of things Chris fails at.
  2. Delete. They're redundant, since the entire CWCki is a catalog of his egotism.

You might say that means delete fail, too, but "List of failures" isn't really encyclopedic; it's there for comedic effect. Thoughts? --Dude 04:17, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
