Scientific Study Shows 75% of Internet Users Believe a Story Without Fully Reading it - General

[QUOTE=thereisno131]That 75% includes you. [b]Edit:[/b] Is it me or am I the only one who thinks that this is a FAKE article and a bogus study trying to make people go, 'Oh my God, 75% is a lot' when they believe the story without fully reading it? Hence unleashing epic irony? [B]Edit:[/B] Haha it is! The "ORIGINAL LINK" leads to some bullshit article.[/QUOTE] Nothing gets past you, eagle eye. [b]Edit:[/b] Megalodon

I refuse to believe this :argh:!

I read the first paragraph, and I don't believe it. :v:

Haha. It's pretty smart actually. One thing that nagged at me while reading it were the names. Wolfgang Amadeus Makart? Wow, doesn't sound like Mozart at all! Yea, fake text is fake, but hell! Fake text is clever! EDIT: Shit. Forgot my dinosaur reference. Tyrannosaurus Sex!

That was an interesting read. Stegosaurus.

I completely read it and thought it was bullshit! Huzah I was right.

Meh, I'm too lazy to read it. I don't believe it though

I read the first two lines and knew it was bullshit. But the thread proves a point.

Man I can't beileve this is true, I mean comon, not even a stegosaurus would be this stupid :downs:

I agree, i didin't even finish reading whatever the OP said.

Some people say that the study is as awesome as a half robot half T-Rex hybrid.

Whoever didn't read it should go ahead and read it.

It's a trick. The article itself is bullshit. I haven't read the other comments but I'm sure they all say the same thing. I'm sure a good couple got owned by this article. ;)

[QUOTE=gamefreek76]Whoever didn't read it should go ahead and read it.[/QUOTE] Seems to me the OP is tired of people shitting on and derailing his threads. Sigmund Fraad. :rolleye:

A news article is very poorly constructed if the reader has to read it entirely to understand what it's about. The important parts should go first and any minor details the last.

This thread is hilariously ironic

An interesting article, though i'm unimpressed with the lack of information on Velociraptor migration patterns.

I don't believe 90% of what I hear. And there will probably be a T-Rex in Jurassic Park 4, so all is good.

Hehehe this is funny. Wolfgang amadeus mozart, leading proffessor.

75% of internet users will have read the article.

[QUOTE=GunFox]In your thread, ruining your joke: "Mr. Fraad urged users to stop the behaviour, or it may end badly. He also hypothesised that the least read part to a story would be the middle section. Apparently a writer could write complete nonsense, and only a few would notice. He urged those that noticed not to give the game away, because it could be funny, but asked them to play along by making a comparison to dinosaurs in their comments."[/QUOTE] Watch as GunFox T-Wrecks the thread. [b]Edit:[/b] Christ, that was a terrible play on words.

The intellect of the internet is revealed by an opinion higher than mine.

This report must have been written by a Pterodactyl. *drops pants*

I'd believe it.

The other 25% is facepunch members :patriot:

I got to say that this got me, until I read the comments and read the whole thing over. Pretty amusing experiment.

[QUOTE=ryandaniels]I'd believe it.[/QUOTE] Apart from him. Broke my merge ^

Ludwig von Bearhaten doesn't exist. Guess I'm part of the other 25% that actually knows the internet. Or maybe I saw right through the FUCKING BAIT that made it so obvious.

[QUOTE=dima210]I got to say that this got me, until I read the comments and read the whole thing over. Pretty amusing experiment.[/QUOTE] I sort of guessed there was some clever trickery from the name. It was sort of too suspicious to let it pass, as I do occasionally just skim through the article looking for the important bits. Oh shit, I forgot. Stegosaurus.
