   Michael Bay's reported involvement in the newest live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie has internet communities in uproar. Set to produce the film for Paramount Pictures, many fear Bay's unique style is an ill-suited match for the project. In fact, opposition has reached recording breaking levels. On May 30th, internet commentators shattered the record for most exclamatory "NOOOOOOOO!" posting remarks in history. The previous record was established following news of Shia Labeouf's involvement in the latest Indiana Jones film. However, nothing could compete with this new outpouring of despair directed towards the polarizing filmmaker. A total of 3,542,007 commentators posted the phrase (with variances in frequency of the letter 'O') across thousands of blogs and websites. We got in touch with a few of these individuals to get their thoughts:

Jane Summers, 20, posted under the alias Filmgirlz. She was vocal in her distaste for the director/producer noting that "he just cares about explosions and action rather than making good movies. I don't want him destroying my childhood memories like with Transformers 2." As for the content of her post, she chose to write a one-word comment because she "just couldn't think of any other way to express [her] disappointment."

Richard Wright, 17, posted under the name MichaelBayFaggot69. He claims to have "blacked-out completely from rage after reading the article." When he regained consciousness, the comment was already typed on the screen with seventeen letter o's. Wright's dislike for Bay bordered on unstable, promising "if I ever see that guy on the street, I will stab him in the neck."

   Clearly this outpouring of frustration is unlike anything we've seen in history. Now the question is how long will the new record stand? Articles related to Shia Labeouf are naturally the most likely competitor. Yet Shia's recent dismissal of casting rumors surrounding Y: The Last Man removes a potentially challenging threat.

Michael Bay was unavailable for comment on this article.

When I read MichaelBayFaggot69 I literally spit water all over my keyboard laughing.

Like your made up commentors, I'm dreading seeing Bay ruin another one of my favorite childhood memories. Transformers has been destroyed, GI JOE, now the turtles are getting it. Sad.

Ha yeah it certainly does. I'm loving the Michael Bay hatred here. Still absolutely stunned no one has asked if this article is real. Maybe people are smarter than I thought... maybe.
