"They are hackers on steroids, treating the web like a real-life video game!"

Please tell me this is a hoax. Despite the website in question, the video is work safe, but not brain safe.

Because if it's not... WOW. 4Chan made the news. The internet is over, everyone. Time to go home.

I don't agree with a lot of the insanity over at the *Chan boards, but this is just sad. I don't know what side looks dumber. WHAT'S WITH THE EXPLODING VAN?!

Is this just a Fox News thing? I've heard about the news in the states promoting mass panic, never thought it would look like this. "Internet hate machine?" The HELL? Beware the interweb trolls, for they will blow up your cargo vans!

Oh noes, the LULZ! Oh brother.

I mean, sure I hate 4/Chan. What person over 30 doesn't? But... what the hell?

The first time I saw it, I swore it was some sort of strange parody and that the punchline would be some silly video clip from the boards. Instead, it appears to be real.

I'm baffled. Fox 29's lack of newcasts has sheltered me.

Well way to go Fox News, you played into their hands. 4chan won. They're too lazy to actually do any of those threats. They just wanted attention. And now they got it. /b/ must have gone nutz, but at this point they're probably back to make fun of black people or something.

Lulz? Seems more like a lullz in the brain. Now all we need is a picture of the 4chan party wagon. Hmmm.. found a picture of a yellow van with dynamite straped to it....

Hey look its pedo the bear flying through the air.

I was thinking more of the party van which is this big FBI RV for stakes out which is usually meme'd as being right outside your house.




Still that's pretty funny. How many distrubing things did you have to look at to find that huh?

None. It was on a PG-rated Sonic the Hedgehog forum in the general chat.

Oh, the story is on Fandom Wank (http://www.journalfen.net/community/clairvoyantwank/388029.html) now.
