* 1. Go into LJ's egl comm or any [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]] forum. 2. Mention brand replicas (bonus points if you bring up Bodyline). 3. Sit back, hit F5, and enjoy the fireworks.

* Disney: Toons vs Tweens. State that [[The Disney Afternoon|90s Disney cartoons]] like ''[[Duck Tales (Animation)|Duck Tales]]'', ''[[Goof Troop (Animation)|Goof Troop]]'', ''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (Animation)|Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]'', ''[[Tale Spin (Animation)|Tale Spin]]'', ''[[Recess]]'', ''[[Bonkers (Animation)|Bonkers]]'' or any other shows that were on when 'you-were-a-kid' that you can think of, are way better than the tween crap that Disney spouts now. Fans of ''[[Hannah Montana]]'', ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]'', ''[[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody]]'' and other recent non-toon live-action productions will have a fit. People who agree with the statement will bash Eisner relentlessly, whether what's being discussed has anything to do with him or not.

* Say '''ANYTHING''' about a major social networking site ([[My Space]], [[Face Book]], Twitter, etc.) The discussion will degrade into people ranting about [[Hatedom|how much they hate these sites]] and [[Fan Hater|their hatred for anybody who uses them]].

* [[Dragon Ball (Manga)|Goku]] vs [[Superman]]. Just try starting a topic saying [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny|who would win]]. Then you get Goku fanboys saying he is millions of times faster than light and can destroy the universe by powering up, and the Superman fanboys claiming Supes is omnipotent, and he is unbeatable. For added fun, try making a topic on who was the better hero. The flames will be hotter than Supe's heat vision.

* Improve your Spanish! Go to any film/show/anime dubbed in Spanish-Spanish or Latin American-Spanish, and say that as you're familiar with the opposite accent the dub sounds a bit strange for you. You'll have to deal with the biggest Latin America vs. Spain war since the Conquista as a result. Also works with European/Brazilian Portuguese.

* 9/11. Truthers versus people who believe the official story. Don't you dare bring up any flaws in a Truther argument, or you'll be flamed for being a sheep who believes everything the government tells them. Don't even try defending your argument with facts, or even video of the attack itself!

* Videos of [[Stephen Merchant]] on youtube have become of this as of late. More specifically, the comments people leave behind. Let's just say that posting anything (And we do mean '''ANYTHING''') containing a ''[[Portal 2 (Video Game)|Portal 2]]'' quote will result in you being flamed.
