We think only a record holder can know what you go through to set a record, so we only let people that
have already set world records downvote other people's records.
What can I do?
Go set a record! If you can think of it, you can set a new world record for it.
If you go onto the original source then you'll see it's, in fact, originally a picture of a girl's ribs and concave stomach. You can see it when you go to monsterscausedthisblackhole.tumblr.com and the post has been changed hundreds upon hundreds of times to other things such as the one shown in the photo.
I wouldn't call that "unfair." He posted a piece that the Tumblr editors felt worthy of sharing with the entire community. To beat the record, someone will need to create a post that possesses an equal (or even greater) level of buzz (attention from the Tumblr editors and/or popular members of the community.) It can be done!
And I also want to point out that if he donated for 12000 Notes, it would still have only been a donation of $48. And while $48 is a good bit for just a random blogger, I can't imagine how he managed to gather so many Notes or how he was able to predict that this was going to be so popular (hence setting a low amount). If it was me, I probably would've wrote "I'll donate $1 for every reblog" since I only have 6 followers, and then go bankrupt when this erupts all over Tumblr.
Just to clear up any misconceptions, I didn't just propose via the internet, I was there in person when it went live on the site! Read more here: http://newteevee.com/2009/11/19/tumblr-marriage-proposal-behind-the-scenes-of-justin-and-marissas-engagement/

Saying this is the 'worst' part of tumblr misses the point by a few inches, but this is the worst part of tumblr.
Avery Monsen
Just beaten by this! 17,442 notes and counting! http://prettyheartattacks.tumblr.com/post/872681929/all-my-friends-are-dead
ok
Dan Rollman
I wouldn't call that "unfair." He posted a piece that the Tumblr editors felt worthy of sharing with the entire community. To beat the record, someone will need to create a post that possesses an equal (or even greater) level of buzz (attention from the Tumblr editors and/or popular members of the community.) It can be done!
Thank goodness she said yes.. Otherwise I think he wouldn't have liked such a public failure..
Andrew C
Ok.. it's not like I was fighting the claim. I was just pointing it out.
read the criteria next time... it says within 30 day's of posting.
Rob Birdsong
Darran you are right. The original record setter did not include that as a part of the criteria. How does everyone feel about this?
That is not a very fair record as the post was on EVERYONES dashboard for everyone to like it or reblog it.
How neat! What a well-deserved record! :)
Andrew C
And I also want to point out that if he donated for 12000 Notes, it would still have only been a donation of $48. And while $48 is a good bit for just a random blogger, I can't imagine how he managed to gather so many Notes or how he was able to predict that this was going to be so popular (hence setting a low amount). If it was me, I probably would've wrote "I'll donate $1 for every reblog" since I only have 6 followers, and then go bankrupt when this erupts all over Tumblr.
Andrew C
Funny that I see 12,022 notes as of right now. I suppose some people retracted their Likes.
Andrew C
Good point.
Andrew C
Very cool, a world record can only make a wedding better.
Ryan Brown
that was promoted by tumblr itself! but, also, does that even matter? i guess not, seeing as how the criteria doesn't prohibit it.
