If you see how they reaced (no pun intended) in the past to Ellen Degeneres doing something remotely similar on her show, it becomes very clear that their intentions weren’t good at all.

This one as well (Trust me it’s serious, despite the silly thumbnail.)

“and though we can assert our intentions are pure, there’s no way to prove them.”

This vid summed it all up very well and how dangerous it could have been.

Can’t agree more. Not only do you risk someone’s life, because a wrong move and the swat team might shoot, and not only do you fuck with someone in a really shitty way, but you waste tax payer money and let’s not even think of if the swat team is needed elsewhere but they are busy at one of these shitty fake calls.

Good. It should be a federal crime. One day this is going to get someone killed, either directly or indirectly (by removing resources from where they need to be).

They should make it a federal crime. Enough of these little fuckers. I say when you find they get whipped with a garden, finger nails pulled and have their teeth smashed in.

+10000 Mitch Albom is scum

This guy also defended Cosby and, as far as I can tell, never caught any flack for it.

If anyone should know about making up stories to profit off them, it’s Mitch Albom.

Maybe I’m old fashioned but if I was sexually assaulted, I’d at the very least like to get paid for it

Yeah. I remember clearly understanding that the characters clearly were lepers back when I first saw it as a dumb high-schooler in the late 90s, so it couldn’t have been that subtle. I’ve never heard it described as an ‘urban legend.’ That seems silly.

Wait, the fact they were lepers and discriminated against elsewhere was an urban legend? I thought that was a super obvious part of the story.

Nice closing to the article. I approve. I am also a honda engineer!
(Not really, see how that works? You can say ANYTHING)

So, they’re saying all this stuff is CORRECT?

It’s sort of pointless to post this, because I’m grey, but I make a point of reading the grey comments (at least until they devolve into bullshit). There are a lot of good discussions that happen in the greys.

I’m all for mocking gun nuts, too.

I am now officially one of “the olds” because not one damn sentence in this article makes a damn lick of sense to me.

There are some cities (NYC, for example) going through a major infestation. It will take time to kill off all those bugs, and meanwhile, travelers are spreading the nuisance all over the globe.

Having to fight with trying to get the bugs out of your home for 2-3 years is much worse.
