Well now I see your problem: you browse /b/.

4chan is undoubtedly the internet repository for failure and AIDS.

The irony is that the entire "fail and aids" thing originated ON 4chan. I don't know if that was intentional or not.

You're really going to credit 4chan with creating "fail" and "AIDS" jokes (or even the combination of the two)?

For shame, for shame.



You really give those fellows far too much credit.

wasn't there a thread or discussion about which jokes came first on TA or 4chan or something?

TA is hardly ever the source of originality.


Also, similar shit has happened before (from wiki):

quote:

NFL bomb threat hoax The original threat posted on September 18, 2006 by Brahm. On October 18, 2006 the Department of Homeland Security warned NFL officials in Miami, New York City, Atlanta, Seattle, Houston, Oakland, and Cleveland about a possible threat involving the simultaneous use of dirty bombs at stadiums in those cities.[16] The threat claimed that the attack would be carried out on October 22, the final day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.[17] The threats came to light in the national media after they were reposted on 4chan's /b/ more than forty times by Jake Brahm between September 18 and October 19 of 2006.[18] The threat was originally posted on The Friend Society. The site crashed due to a high volume of traffic incurred after CNN posted a link to it, and it was reposted on 4chan and soon became associated with that site. [19] On October 20, 2006, Brahm turned himself in to federal authorities. He was charged with fabricating a fake terrorist threat and was taken into custody by police.[20] If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.[21] Both the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security expressed doubt concerning the credibility of the threats.

quote:

Pflugerville High School terrorist threat Around midnight on September 11, 2007, a student made a terrorist threat against his Pflugerville, Texas high school. People on 4chan[27] helped track him down by finding the perpetrator's name in the Exif data of a photograph he took, and contacted the police. He was arrested before school began that day

again, if nobody did anything and people got shot, the general public would be shitting their underwear and trying to lynch the cops.

my 0.02: both cops and the dude are idiots.

I'd love to see the detailed cost breakdown that shows how they spent $100,000 to find this guy. I would think it would have been fairly simple
