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

[ArchAngel]

I looked at the thread title and went, "Oh this is going to be an ironic article making a jab at those who don't read it."

Shurr nuff.

This article, by existing, creates a paradox.

Someone's trying to sound smart by repeating everything people said, and substituting them with synonyms. And I have to say, it's not working.

[Speed v7]

You guys all make this article true.

This is satire.

I guessed the article was false on the third line. [quote]The study was conducted by members of the Berlin Philharmonic University. A prestigious university that ranks top 10 in the world. Senior Professor - Wolfgang Amadeus Makart claimed that doing this study, was putting his entire career at risk.[/quote]

There isn't a part of that setence you can't 'what the fuck?'

[evster7]

Well 75% of internet users are fucking stupid. Just look at myspace and youtube comments.

50% of them are led astray by other stupid people. Look at 4chan and other popular imageboards and forums.

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]
