i dont buy it. Tyler Durden is still too fresh in everyone's minds for teenage potheads and movie buffs to stop thinking its cool. since the internet is still largely anonymous, too many people want to be the edgy "i know which me is the real me, but do you?" reputation, and for all of us two-finger typers know out there, this is perfectly realistic because people wouldn't lie on the internet to make themselves look cooler. just take the kids from the "motherfuckin popsicles" picture (google image search it if you dont know). They're actually that gangster... right?
roach i'm not saying this is you, but i wouldn't be surprised if it was. blame brad pitt, ed norton, and people with low self esteem
