alt.fan.starwars.jar-jar-binks.die

The famous anti-Jar-Jar joke group.

Created in the wake of The Phantom Menace (1999), alt.fan.starwars.jar-jar-binks.die is one of Usenet’s best-remembered joke group names — a protest vote conducted through the group-creation mechanism itself.

Traffic was mostly the name; the name was the point. It is preserved here as a specimen of alt.* culture at its most alt.*.
