NOTHING makes me angrier, and laugh harder

The BIGGEST load of BS on the net it seems, and also the funniest.

The sad part is the parents and such reading this and believing BS like this:

"Popular hacker software includes "Comet Cursor", "Bonzi Buddy" and "Flash"."

"Quake is an online virtual reality used by hackers. It is a popular meeting place and training ground, where they discuss hacking and train in the use of various firearms."

"If your son has requested a new "processor" from a company called "AMD", this is genuine cause for alarm. AMD is a third-world based company who make inferior, "knock-off" copies of American processor chips."

"BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War."

It's sad really...

Ummm..you did get that it was a joke, right?

EDIT: The replies are as funny as the article...

And another good article (for adults) http://www.adequacy.org/public/stori...05429.852.html

yeah, but i was referred by a parent that found it on google and believed all of it, people look at this page and nothing else on the site, thinking this is for real...

If they believe that, then the only danger we face is further dillution of the gene pool. It's a good site though...some funny stuff. :thumbsup:

funny funny stuff.

"Popular hacker software includes "Comet Cursor", "Bonzi Buddy" and "Flash"." .... call it what ever you want just kill the people who make it. Its hard to trouble shoot problems on a machine when theres a little purple ape thing getting in your ****in way. jesus i hate it. nice like gave me a laught, hope theres some parents out there taking this to heart.

Plz help, in the rush for the mail in the morning, I crawl, my daughter rushes, and always gets there before me. I always ask if there is any mail for me, only to be told shut up, old **** face. I would like to know if there is any software that could block this, as I'm an old man, I don't know where to turn to plz help, "stop hitting me bitch"

Nice post :D

It is what we call "tongue in cheek" humour. The problem is that some individuals don't get the joke.

In a way I suppose it is the same mentality that allows urban myths, fake virus warnings and the like?

Jm459....................have you tried setting that dog on her :p

Cheers

These sound like Tipper Gore's group that came up with the real names for the rock groups AC/DC ("anti-christ/devil's children) and KISS ("knights in satan's service"). Some of these people started the smear campaign on Proctor and Gamble saying that their 100+ year old trademark was a devil worship cult symbol.

Hmm so you mean that the brand spanking new AMD chips i've ordered of that cheesy looking web-site are illegal, does that mean that i'm finally gonna be 3li73 now?

Nah but that was funny as all hell, i wonder how many parents have actually taken that seriously?
Ah the world is saved. 1 less skid kiddie loose on the net..

LFrog..

hahaha.....That is great

The funny thing is, it's obviously a joke, but there are millions of people out there who would be dumb enough to write a serious article like that. And all those angry replies - that's the best.

Why am I sitting here at 11:22 PM looking at humour on a security forum and writing this? I desperately need to get a life...

Haha, i remember this article. You can have some real good fun with it;

1) Find an online gaming community thats semi smart (but not *too* smart) and has online forums
2) Join said forums
3) Post a link to the article accompanied by something along the lines of "This is outrageous!"
4) Enjoy the resulting 67 pages of people talking about "how false the article is"

:D
