http://www.tourettesguy.com/
Some people think this site is fake, but this guy says and does these things...they are just so random and well-said that no one in their right mind would be able to execute it so candid.
Basically, it's a website that archives videos of this regular guy, but he has tourettes syndrome and his case is very severe because he is also an alcoholic. Everyone other word out of his mouth is either "Fuck", "Shit" or "Piss"...and the phrases he says is just so "out there".
I couldn't stop laughing, to the point where my stomach started to hurt. My favorites are: "Rude Awakening", "Head-and-Shoulders Incident", "Brush Ma Teeth", "Interview Part 3", "Total", "Fridge", "Tourettes King" and "Tit Dirt". _________________ plz to be visiting my board of predator debauchery |

The queue system is only activated in the evenings, and on the weekends...when the entire world is crammed onto the internet. =D
I go on in the morning, and there's no wait.
And yes, they are worth it. _________________ plz to be visiting my board of predator debauchery |

Well, remember, his case is more severe...
And just for the record, I don't think less of anyone who has tourettes after watching tourettesguy. If anything, it shows what crap you have to out up with everyday. =\ _________________ plz to be visiting my board of predator debauchery |

No, I'm serious. Tourette's isn't just an affliction of cursing and saying inappropriate things. My tics (and those of most others I've known) were comprised of grunts, squeals and some pysical tics like shoulder, head and neck jerks. Coprolalia (compulsive cursing) is the one symptom that gets all the media attention, but it afflictsa relatively low percentage of all Tourette's sufferers.
I really don't believe for a second that this dude is afflicted. I really just think he's nucking futs. And I think that "Tourette's" is an easy way to explain away his nonsense. I'm not offended by it. It's just my opinion based on my own observations. I'm not his doctor, but I feel I have a pretty keen grasp based on what I know Tourette's sufferers to be like.
EDIT: Okay, so it appears this guy is a Tourette's sufferer, but he's abnormal in other ways unrelated to the disease. I stand corrected...a little bit, anyway. From the site's home page: | Quote: | | This site contains videos of a guy we call the "Tourettes Guy". Although he has been diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome, his actions are exaggerated by other problems (including alcohol) and are not consistent with most Tourette Syndrome sufferers. |

My sister has tourettes and her tics has gotten worst from snapping her head back, to this horrible cough plus the snapping. Its so sad when she comes to me and says "Gigi my tourettes is hurting me. I can't stop doing it." I feel like crying when she does it. _________________

Well, don't shed me off as the norm, heh. I don't consider myself any type of expert, but I do remember seeing an HBO special on children who cope with tourettes. There was this one girl who would throw her pencil on the floor in class, just so she had an excuse to put her body under the desk so she could do her head twitching tics without any of the other children staring at her.
If you check out the forum for the website, you can see that Danny (the name of the tourettes guy) isn't the only one being showcased on the site. There's other people on there who have the syndrome, and they love the attention for the fact that they can educate people on what they have. From what I have seen, it's working very well, and nobody on that forum teases any tourettes sufferers because of their symptoms. _________________ plz to be visiting my board of predator debauchery |

Yea, she's having trouble making friends and what not. So I'm like her best friend along with my other sister. We play with her and it keeps her mind off of it. So she doesn't do it so often. _________________

I am torn. I watch this and then feel like an idiot for wasting my time on this.
Then I go away. Do something else. When I'm doing something, I also start... thinking. Thinking about the Tourette's guy. Yeah. You know, actually that one part was pretty fucking hilarious. I might want to watch it again. I think I'll watch it right now.
Then I open the site again, shovel the shit back on my face and wonder why the hell I keep doing this to myself. _________________ bitchez n hose |

I feel bad for threadmancing, but there's now proof that this whole thing is fake. It's like finding out Santa doesn't exist all over again.
They [the creators] got tired of making videos and put the site on hiatus. Someone took advantage of this and hacked into it and then posting the "news" that tourettes guy died. But now a new site is up with all the videos and a new addition.
The proof of it all being a good acting job is this video that was posted recently, featuring our "guy" acting somewhat normally and not using a neck-brace.
But otherwise? I still think he's hilarious and I will still watch any new videos. There's a small part in the back of my mind that is glad this was all a clever rouse, kind of like watching Borat. You know he's acting but he makes his character real to everyone else that he crosses. _________________ plz to be visiting my board of predator debauchery |
