Hey /r/jokes

No joke here. Sorry to disappoint. The whole "so and so fainted" shit has to stop. Every damn joke, some asshat in the comments feels the need to say that someone fainted. It's not funny. Sure, I could just skip over the comment. But this has turned into a fucking virus. Let's stop it right now.
