Several spinoff websites were created, the Rowdy Gentleman clothing brand was founded, and viewership soared. For the first few years after launch, TFM was a major success. The site was officially pegged as satire but the distinction has always been blurred. We shared them, recited them from memory, and, to some extent, imagined one day embodying them.
