Quote "Jason Scott / The Edge of Forever / DefCon 15 (2007)" "Everybody who does something that seems like it is rather extreme knows a more extreme motherfucker personally. Points to them and says: I am nothing." q.e.d. (Quod erat demonstrandum) :) Cheers!

My sentiment toward this "prank" itself is neither one of delight nor one of disgust, but as a fellow "online anthropologist" as it were, I commend you for the intentionally actuating and observing the implications of it.

I have had death threats on YouTube (yes, YouTube...the bottom of the barrel when it comes to comments) simply because I provided content that was shocking. The amusing aspect to it was that: 1. The footage was not designed to shock. It was not for the purpose of grossing people out but more to give my friend further proof of how much more of a dork I can be while thier back is turned. Humor. Having fun. Laughing at myself 2. I did not spam this link everywhere, the commenters' friends likely did. In fact, it landed on Portal of Evil TV where they like to showcase things that the typical /b/tard crowd finds gross, ugly (in that non mainstream way), etc Who is really to blame? LOL. Your post hits the nail right on the head. Ignorance shouldnt be an excuse but what can you do about the "precious snowflakes." Someone's gotta teach them that the internet is not all bunnies and rainbows. LOL This is great *adds you to google reader* It seems to be the thing to do.
