Oh. Right, reference. I get it now. Lawl. "Secret."

I was unaware that the entire population of /b was out to hack my computer.


Also, that guy who lost seven passwords? Donuts to dollars he has a keylogger on his box and hasn't figured it out yet.

Or he uses the current day of the week as his password. Changes it every day for extra security. That's why he gave up after 7. Ran out of ideas.

If I were to call the officials for every time I or someone I love was threatened online... Jeez.

I also like how that guy blames /b/ for a virus he probably got from opening random email attachments.
Just because, you know, that sounds slightly more plausible than "zomg /b/ stolez my passwerd and sent viruz to mi freindsz!1"

Bahahahhaha. I love the ham-fisted attempts of reporters to get a grip on what the internet is.

Calling "Anonymous" a hacker group was probably the funniest bit.

I showed this to a few friends who I figured would get a kick out a it, and I picked up something else:

Fox knows exactly what is going on. They did their research. They found the image macros. They know about /i/ (though no mention that it does not exist). They obviously read the boards.

yet they still made this wonderfully WRONG news cast.

Kinda makes me feel better that I can attribute this to a pure mercenary spirit then having to worry that people really are this stupid. (well, ok, the people they interviewed really are that stupid).



BTW, any one else get this feeling they were watching The Daily Show at points of this?

I know, right? I don't see how it's possible to say "truly epic lulz" with a straight face.

It'd be hilarious to see him "accidentally fall down some stairs" afterwards.

Also, it's spelled terrists. A president decreed it.

I feel retarded for publically talking about this, but

For all intents and purposes they are the same thing. Honestly, 90% of the visitors of *blank* are going there to browse *blank*.

1&2 hardly apply anymore when talking of 4chan anyway, ever since the Brahm incident, browsing 4chan is the new black, if you understand what Im getting at.

I don't get it - is 4chan supposed to be a secret that no one knows about, and we're scared that if the huddled masses hear about it, it will no longer be the bastion of maturity and intelligence it is now?

DrSuredeath

I dont get it. Last time I posted random image (Pikachu) I was threatened with a ban.
