[QUOTE=TonyP;38907601]I have emailed this to some news sites. CNN, MSN, yahoo, and kotaku. I hope at least one posts a warning.

This is why we can't have nice things.
War of the worlds comes to mind...
[QUOTE=daijitsu;38909975]lmao is that what they actually use, or are you just paraphrasing? I'd be surprised if anyone angry about us was smart enough to discern the difference between mods being nazis and fascists[/QUOTE]
You'd be surprised. Most of their jokes are pretty much:
[quote=Newfag]Hi, I am new to Facepunch. How should I act while I'm a user?
[B](User was permabanned for this post (Reason: hi - Modfag06))[/B][/quote]
Don't forget about [B]"The Great Hack Of Facepunch"[/B], which was an attack orchestrated by 4chan themselves.
[QUOTE=Tovip;38910037]You guys are going to feel awfully dumb once fox news is praising FacePunch's own knight of truth TonyP for saving their misinformed lives.[/QUOTE]
The last thing I want to do is save somebody who watches fox news.

You're really something else, TonyP.

Thank you, I hope the humor in that post made it through to you.
What does that even mean you 'hope it made it through'? Am I some sort of gauntlet for humor -- why did nobody tell me?
Also, I made an edit I think you might like.

What about the War of the Worlds' initial radio broadcast?
EDIT: oh, didn't read like 3 posts up, whoops
Guys, just ignore him. He's going to stop.

It's just for fun man, stupid people will be frightened. It's inevitable. Have you ever heard of "War of the Worlds"?
Goddammit, threads moving too fast
I think his train will just keep on chugging. He's the little engine who could, you know?
Anywho, am really interested to see how this pans out in the end. If it really is the end of the world tomorrow I'm sure Douglas Adams is laughing his ass off somewhere.

Did they claim it was real, or just not claim it was false?
[QUOTE=TonyP;38910352]Did they claim it was real, or just not claim it was false?[/QUOTE]
First one.
which coincidentally caused mass panic.
and it was hilarious.
[QUOTE=TonyP;38910184]Fiction doesn't pretend to be real in order to frighten the naive.[/QUOTE]
There's a huge amount of books and other media that don't imply that their content is fictional
Am I allowed to make jokes?

[quote=Wikipedia]The first two thirds of the 60-minute broadcast were presented as a series of simulated news bulletins, which suggested to many listeners that an actual alien invasion by Martians was currently in progress. Compounding the issue was the fact that, the Mercury Theatre on the Air was a sustaining show (it ran without commercial breaks), adding to the program's realism. Although there were sensationalist accounts in the press about a supposed panic in response to the broadcast, the precise extent of listener response has been debated.[/quote]
So, you know, it's not exactly unheard of. This is actually kind of old school.
I made a special hashtag for someone

I could write a Fiction book right now about these events, and use these pictures, and publish it as fictional literature. It will frighten people.

Didn't know that, but still seems funny anyway.
[QUOTE=TonyP;38910367]Am I allowed to make jokes?[/QUOTE]
are we?
actually I have no idea if you were serious or not so i'm just going to assume you weren't at this point
Tony... What are you going to achieve? Nothing.
Please, stop.

Our mass panic is cruel and heartless. Their mass panic is cool and hip. Got it.
Posting the pictures on the OP to all those "Teen" pages on facebook.

There is a difference between a scary fictional story and trying to trick people into thinking the apocalypse is happening.

More contradictions than a Starburst commercial. It's tragically hilarious!

uh the bible talks about the rapture which is the literal end of the world

It was the equivalent of Cloverfield.
This is going off real stuff, it's like if people broadcast that the Russians launched nukes during the cold war.
