They say that you shouldn't feed the trolls — thankfully a couple of denizens of content creation site Newgrounds did not heed that advice after a kid named Axman13 posted a scathing (albeit grammatically incorrect) comment to a game called Super PSTW Action RPG.

The above video has been buzzing around the web this week, garnering nearly 300,000 views on YouTube, and more than 660,000 on Newgrounds, where it appeared initially.

So where does it come from and (double rainbow!) what does it mean? Well, designer Mick Lauer, the designer who did the animation for the video, tells me that it all started in February 2010, when Axman13 posted a long, rambling comment detailing his qualms about Super PSTW Action RPG.

D-Mac-Double, an actor who voiced the game, quickly posted a reaction video, in which he dramatized the offending words.

That vid didn't really go viral — until Lauer decided to add text to the track — an experiment in kinetic typography.

While you may not be familiar with the game in question, this little vid should prove amusing to anyone who has tussled with trolls, and perhaps even trolls themselves — apparently Axman13 "Favorited" the video.

Happy Friday!
