If it's fake, then debunk is the natural next step - seems like an overlap to me.

Good point @Hybrid, I would like to hear from @BicycleRepairMan and get his take on it.
However, debunked seems more like video's dedicated to uncovering some kind of fakery, as in the process of debunking.

I'm not sure it's reasonable to think that consumer reaction to video game console fakery is going to be equivalent to engineering company reactions to engineering fakery. One's a -whole- lot more serious than the other...


Yeah. Don't fuck with my games.

@dystopianfuturetoday

That @votedem account is an old sock-puppet from last year, and he commented out of jest because he had nothing to do with these members and has a different looking cat.

I just communicated with blankfist directly, and I sincerely believe he had nothing to do with the reddit incident (and doesn't even know about it), that he has no other sock-puppets on the Sift, and that he has no intentions to lash out against you here or anywhere else.

There's no way to prove a negative, but I honestly think you're barking up the wrong tree on this one. All of those YouTubers are real people and by all accounts are upstanding members of the Sift, and there's really no indication they are all in league with blankfist.

It's a bit of a stretch to analyze a person's comments and conclude it must be blankfist pretending to comment like them. Plus, there's no motive for long-term fakery like that. If someone wanted to submit a ST post or video or comment about you, they could do it immediately instead of waiting days or weeks, while carefully plotting a series of fake comments.

No fakery here. Puppies with big heads do this often.

Man so much fakery on this planet they could send the galactic display team over now and no one would be able to believe it..


It's a conspiracy! *tinfoil hat*

Need to have a 3rd party involved so that any fakery could be dismissed.


are you implying that she could somehow already know the length of the celery that she placed into the tub behind her? but she didn't look at it... it's not like all the celery stalks could be pre-cut to 17 centimeters or something...

clearly you're just jealous of what is surely the best ability ever: the ability to make a reasonable guess about something given plenty of information to guess from.

I find it hard to watch soccer because of all the fakery, but that was amazing.

This is not "error", this is flat-out lying and fakery by the very people who purpose to be reporting the facts.
There is simply no way that the claim that this was a mistake is believable.
And why should it be? Fox has gone to court over their right not only to lie, but to fire any employee who objects to those lies. And won. I think that says more than enough to convict them.


If you don't want to believe it is a mistake that is fine, more power to ya. You just have to watch out that skepticism doesn't turn into cynicism, that doesn't do anyone any good. I honor the skeptic, but you can't talk to a cynic.

Hey, Xax, I thought this guy was gay from the first sentence he spoke. It wasn't the singing and dancing that led me to think that.

Don't worry about your sons singing and dancing -- no one ever thought Gene Kelly was gay.

The whole thing smacked of fakery -- the only thing that sold it as real was the girlfriend's reaction. She really did have that WTF look.
