how did the “do not want” things get started?
Today I used the lolcat “i has a bukket” collage for my postmodernism class to illustrate how sometimes…we have technology (i has a bukkit), but sometimes, technology has us (NOO the bukkit has MEEE).
Brilliant, wouldn’t you say, lolcat readers?
Brilliant. With cheezburgers on top.

Do not want is Darth Vader’s response on the re-translated Chinese to English, subtitled version of The Revenge of the Sith. You know, at the end of the movie when he goes NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Well the Chinese subtitle simply reads ‘do not want’. Check it out.

DO NOT WANT is another phrase coined by the lovable scoundrels at 4chan’s /b/ board. It originated from horrible english subtitles of the Chinese version of Star Wars Episode III into Engrish, where instead of Darth Vader saying, “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” near the final minutes of the film, the subtitles say, “Do not want.”
While the original clip spawned a YTMND meme, the “Do not want” line was found infinitely more lulzy and has thus spread throughout the internets as one of the most widely used memes.
This phrase is typically used in threads where a revolting image is displayed, such as Guro or fat chicks.
It got started after the “I can haz cheezburger” picture, on 4chan, I think.
lordy, doesn’t this image just scream

I must say that an internet meme inspired modification of the english language is quite fitting for study in post modermism course. Personally, I believe that if you want to truly understand “how” a meme such as “do not want”, “i has a bucket”, and “i’m in ur x ying z” begins, grows, and takes over the world (ala ICHC) you’d have to delve into several levels of social interaction, the progression and development of new/almost constantly changing methods of communication, and finally the diffusive properties provided by the internet, instant communication, and the perceived value for time sensitive communicative compression.
in the endz u realize u is as much a part of it as it is a part of u.

DO NOT WANT came from a pirated Chinese version of Star Wars Revenge of the Sith. During the part Vader says his famous “nooooooooooooooo” the subtitles under it say DO NOT WANT.
I like the “Do Not Want” but I’m kinda thinking it was more of a “What? I’m not doing anything!” look.
Is oranj! Is poysin! DAT wy ai not want!!
it’s the same look my cats give me when I get out of the shower
and sometimes this look, nf?
