Finally, someone gets the word out where everyone can see it.

Jeff the Killer is truly a terribad Creepypasta. I think its popularity lies with the fact that it is more "realistic" (very loosely used, I know) than the other Creepypastas of its time, and also because the "official" image of Jeff could be considered terrifying to the younger audience.

The reasons I think that it's so bad is because the lack of realism, several plotholes and bad character development.
