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

I read it all before reading the comments. Cool how someone thought of making something like that.

[QUOTE=TheGremlin]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![/QUOTE] /captainobvious I think the majority of people who read the bogus article picked up on that one. :downs:

Read the title and knew it was a joke. I mean, as soon as I dinosaur the thread, I knew it was false. [B]Edit:[/B] Christ that was shameless.

Don't believe it, but if it is true, I think it's mainly the same people who leave Youtube comments.

I didn't read anything but the title but I'm going to immediately assume that the "article" contained a bunch of nonsense to prove its point, albeit with a bit of irony.

How can we believe this? Hmmm?

I hope those pesky scientists get eaten by raptors.

Haha nearly believed this without reading it. :P

I bet the whole article is made up :v:

[quote] Latest reports from internet users suggests that they don't actually care. The group called "Anonymous", famous for being the terrorist group that is hassling Scientology denied the study completely. We could not get an interview with the spokesperson, nor could we get to even talk to him via the phone. Instead we were sent a series of cryptic e-mails. [/quote] Yep, Anonymous has a spokesperson now....god does the internet need some purging.

-sip- [B]EDIT:[/B] I'm not gunna fix it.

Pure genius! :v:

This is sad, 75% of Internet users have the brain size of a raptor

[QUOTE=Riutse]I'm gonna try this joke out in a forum full of idiots, should I post the results here?[/QUOTE] We've already seen the joke. We don't need to see it again.

[QUOTE=firestorm0]We've already seen the joke. We don't need to see it again.[/QUOTE] Okay then.

I don't believe this article because it is posted on the internet. THREAD FAIL! :D

That makes an excellent point whilst being dinosaurshit. [b]Edit:[/b] [QUOTE=spacedooky]This is sad, 75% of Internet users have the brain size of a raptor[/QUOTE] stegosauruses have brains the size of a walnut

[QUOTE=Septimas]I don't believe this article because it is posted on the internet. THREAD FAIL! :D[/QUOTE] Not really, we still managed to fool a bunch of other idiots. Besides, nobody loves you anyway.

[QUOTE=Jon-Ace]Nice try, OP, but I read. :eng101:[/QUOTE] Me also. Ludwig van Bearhaten, what the hell. Scientific studies since five? Hahaha.

Even the ones that read it missed a couple of bits and pieces. :clint:

[QUOTE=KillerTV]You're pretty cool, guy.[/QUOTE] He's not your guy, friend.

Dinosaur dinosaur, meteorite, dinosaur Velociraptor Brontosaurus Stegasaurus... Leoplurodon?

I didn't even read the article and I believe it.

[QUOTE=shill]He's not your guy, friend.[/QUOTE] He's not your friend, buddy. Dinosaur.

And what if I choose not to believe this story?

ITT OP fools everyone

Nobody has mentioned this quote of T-rex proportions. [quote] and the United States of America is in a major food crisis and in need of humanitarian aid. [/quote]
