Misread that as 'this is fire' which I now realize is yet another perfectly valid option. Damn it.

xpost Yes, it was too important a question to be left to languish in the 'fave misread thread titles' thread.

― Just eat a hamburger, it'll hit the spot. (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 29 August 2018 17:29 (seven years ago)

You know if you make threads based on my misreadings but you don't credit me then I end up looking like a total idiot on the Misread Titles thread.

I've been trying very hard to hide the fact that I am an idiot so this is bad.

― Evan, Wednesday, 29 August 2018 17:30 (seven years ago)

Attention, everyone: this poll was inspired by Evan's misreading of an earlier thread title. Please note that the only total idiot posting itt is, as usual, moi.

Some ILXors are fine.
Most ILXors are on fire.
Many ILXors are idiots.
Therefore all immolated jackasses are self-deluded ILXors.

I think that's how logic works.

yet again ilx content presages a story in the the grauniad a few days later:

The easiest way to gauge the pop cultural status of literally anything – from Donald Trump’s hair and just how fit New Jack on Love Island really was to the mighty Ed Balls – is to give it a quick search on Twitter. By using this digital, cat gif-heavy answer to Debrett’s, it seems that in the 10 years since its release, Kings of Leon’s Sex on Fire has lost its status as an indie disco floorfiller and has instead become a shortcut for highly NSFW sex bots.
Search the song by name and, in among the occasional “this tune still bangs!” proclamations from enthusiastic 27-year-olds lamenting the loss of their teenage years, are a huge number of mucky links to cam girls who almost certainly don’t really exist. And while there is a certain Bukowski-esque poetry in free association tweets such as “kings of lean [sp] sex on fire lyrics girls having sex in the weather porn sex commandos”, grubby is the fate of the one of the most unintentionally hilarious songs of the 2000s. Now excuse me while I wipe my search history.

I am admittedly old and out of touch, but I don't know that I've ever heard the song outside of a Guitar Hero sesh.
