Wikipedia says it's a defunct Lad's magazine but it's obviously something new. So where did they come from all of a sudden??

Anybody else notice this or is just me?

No, it didn't, and that's not the answer. That Unilad is gone. I already said so.

"UniLad is a website promoting lad culture aimed at male university students in the United Kingdom. The site described itself as the "number one university student lad's magazine".[1] It was founded in 2010."

would the readership get offended at chav jokes y/n?

there are two possibilities here. one, there is no such trend and it is all in your head, meaning your brain doesn't work. two, it is real but because it is inane poo poo on facebook only a retard is physically capable of caring about it, meaning your brain doesn't work.

Again, that site is gone.

I looked at the about section on the new one.

"Launched in 2014, UNILAD is one of the biggest global platforms for breaking news, shareable and relatable content. A social powerhouse established by millennials for millennials we are proud to have amassed a Facebook following of over 12 million fans, 30 million monthly unique visitors to the website and over 1 billion video views a month."

I was just curious if anybody else noticed how much their stuff gets shared lately :P I hadn't ever heard of it before and in the last two weeks I've seen tons of videos shared from that site.

LAD Media (tm) Ltd. is a meme/advertising partnership that British people have been seeing for years.

It started off more in the vein of "this LAD smashed 3 curries in a day. LAD!" and is now more "Tag 3 LADS to add to our advertising metrics as 'gamers' who want to play Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. LADS!"

no the sentence is put together properly without unnecessary abbreviations or ending 'ezza' to a random word at the end.
