[quote]The rabble rousers at 4chan are creating fake OkCupid profiles in an attempt to create an involuntary flashmob in New York City. It's sad for the potential victims but I gotta admit, sorta funny! The idea is to use fake OkCupid accounts to tease "forever alone" guys into thinking that someone is interested in them. Once those single and lonely types are hooked, 4chan users will direct them to 46th street and Broadway in Times Square New York at 7:30pm on Friday the 13th in May. It'll be a gathering of single dudes looking for love! Which conveniently, can be watched on a public security camera. Two tips: single guys should avoid any girl, real or imagined, who wants to meet at that time at that spot. Single girls! You can scope out the scene across the street to see if there are any diamonds in the rough. Also! How poetic would it be if a 4chan user fell for this prank?[/quote] [url=http://gizmodo.com/#!5786033/4chan-is-trying-to-prank-single-lonely-guys-with-okcupid]Sauce[/url] Oh 4chan, you just can't stop doing silly things~
While funny, I feel bad for the guys who'll get tricked. In before someone says they deserve it.
I bet it will just be a meet-up of 4chan people who didn't know about the prank.
Oh... So bigboobblonde1990 doesn't REALLY love me then... :saddowns:
Honestly I don't think it's a very funny thing to do. In fact I think it's cruel.

This might hurt a lot of peoples feelings. But then again: dis gon b gud
[QUOTE=Nightsure;28823352]You would have to be pretty stupid to fall for this you have to admit[/QUOTE] Stupid or not, do you think that someone who is bad enough off to be using 'OkCupid' is going to be mentally well? I can see it ending with someone killing themself from humiliation. Oh, wait, thats what they want isn't it? That would be 'funny'.
this will be comedy gold if it takes off.
Yeah, I saw the thread on /b/ a week ago. I knew some idiot was going to leak this.
The real prank is for whoever has to clean the bodies

well now they have a warning even though this is kinda evil but funny but only a fool you set there heart for someone before meeting them In IRL

This is terrible.
It will be ruined for the /b/tards if the single guys try and recoup their losses and form a flash mob, pulling off a perfectly synchronized dance routine. If they don't do that, then this won't be that funny.
This prank will backfire and the crowd will be a bunch of 4channers.
The only people who use dating sites are people who either lack the time for dating and meeting people, or the people who are unable to meet people otherwise. The first group, being primarily comprised of business professionals (at the very least people who work long hours or travel a lot) generally deal with a fair to high amount of stress with work, and will generally suffer greatly for damage to their image. The later group is comprised of people who for whatever reason are unable to socialize normally - be it mental illness, personality problems, or a bad history with the people they interact with on a regular basis. It could be a single-dad who lacks the time to socialize normally because of his house-hold responsibilities. An attack as such on an individual as described could easily result in great damage to their image, personal or public. Humiliated, they might even resort to suicide. The people who are planning this are pathetic, they try to create elaborate reasons for attacking corporations that affect the common man negatively, then turn around and pull shit like this for laughs without thinking of the repercussions. It's not funny at all, and anyone who thinks it is needs to take a hard look at their-self and their actions.
No, 4Chan, you are the lonely single guys

It gives you the ability to slay assholes instantly and adds a +2 to ever attack roll.
Oh man I wonder if anyone will fall for this.

Day fits perfectly... But I don't think it's going to work since it will gain attention. But the footage could be funny.
why what a boring unimaginative prank [editline]26th March 2011[/editline] I guess it IS 4chan
This probably won't work too well, because OkCupid is generally more of a joke than a real dating site. Most people who use it are probably just doing it for fun
Ima wait and see the results of this so called prank.
at 7:30pm on Friday the 13th in May someone go as Jason voorhees
