    Wait, what? People...people do that?!

    My faith in humanity is shattered.

    ^ There are people who probably think that the Weekly World News is serious

    ^^I'm contemplating keeping a running count of how many times a single person's faith in humanity gets shattered.

    I see the light! Now to go on a streetcorner in dirty unwashed clothes and hold a board that says the end is nigh while shouting said phrase and harassing people!

    @INUH: I've lost count of the times I've seen the Mail linked in an unironic manner in On-Topic Conversations.

    Mostly because my vision went red after the first five times.

    ^That pretty much summarizes why I don't go to OTC.
  • What. The. Fuck.
  • ^^^I demand proof. On one could be that uninformed.
  • That was worth it if only for the picture of the alleged judge wearing an incredibly shitty wig.
  • I miss the Weekly World News.
  • When in Turkey, ROCK THE FUCK OUT
    Wait, if the Sun is a British paper then why is it subtitled "God Bless America"? And people actually link to the Daily Fail Mail on OTC? And the Sun used the same picture of soldiers with gas masks twice? 

    SO MANY QUESTIONS

    They call me Rate Miser, whatever I see... turns overrated in my eyes...

    @OP: Because people trust Fox News, so why not the Daily Mail or the Sun?

  • Bumped because this is still happening. On here, too.
  • I am Dr. Ned who is totally not Dr. Zed in disguise.
    I always find that when I criticise the mail for their "GAY PAEDO MUSLIMS LOWER UK HOUSE PRICES" headlines that someone will invariably walk and pick up the paper and give me a dirty look.
  • When in Turkey, ROCK THE FUCK OUT
    I guess it really is the British equivalent to Fox News.

    I see many people taking it seriously on Fark. Hell, at one point it got greenlit five times in a row!

    GLORIOUS: There's two Suns. The trashy one in the U.K, and the even trashier one in the U.S

    The pictures posted are from the U.S Sun.

    Also, your body is not ready.
  • When in Turkey, ROCK THE FUCK OUT

    The only difference between Hitler and previous governments was that he
    believed, with babyish credulity, in science as the only truth.


    Forgive me if I'm mistaken here, but wasn't there also something about really, really disliking Jews? And invading Poland?

    And didn't the Mail back the Nazi Party in the '30s?
  • But you never had any to begin with.
    Before the war, they definitely did. Not sure about during, though.

    Meh, biased news is still news, and I think I'm smart enough to filter out the facts from the bullshit.
  • I am Dr. Ned who is totally not Dr. Zed in disguise.
    ^ Smart enough to post in the right thread though? :D
  • We Played Some Open Chords and Rejoiced, For the Earth Had Circled the Sun Yet Another Year
    SILENCE
  • But you never had any to begin with.
    Since their headlines tend towards stuff like "ARE GAYS MURDERING THE ROYAL FAMILY WITH CANCER?", it isn't really news at all.
  • When in Turkey, ROCK THE FUCK OUT
    IS CANCER MURDERING THE GAYS WITH THE ROYAL FAMILY
  • @Wicked: Why not just find better sources, though? It's the Internet. It's not hard. And if there aren't any other sources, that just tells you the story is Mail-manufactured bullshit.
  • You can change. You can.
    Bumped because this is still happening. On here, too.

    I told you man. I told you about OTC, dawg.

    I see no reason to do so, if someone's already linked to a Mail article in the OP.
