Fox News does it for the lulz.

am i the only one who got a Japanese movie advertisement? not a trolling news report?

Posted by diminished on January 20, 2011 at 1:11 PM

I swear to god you put this on the Onion, totally verbatim, and it's sheer genius.

Posted by Blech on January 20, 2011 at 1:21 PM

#5, no you're not the only one. Until this one post, the screenshot matched the embedded clip for the Japanese movie ad, the Tim Minchin clip. I think something went kablooey with this post.

Does fox not realize that the tea party is just irl trolls? Maybe if we ignore them more, they'll just go away.

Posted by holyfrejoles on January 20, 2011 at 2:15 PM

What is this internet of which you speak? I heard it was a series of tubes...

Trolls are citizens of the lower peninsula of Michigan. Damn homonyms.

Posted by OuterCow on January 20, 2011 at 3:20 PM

This isn't newsworthy, what a waste of 1s and 0s. I also heard that Paul is a Nazi pedophile who kicks puppies and disembowels kittens.

Posted by Mike Smith on January 20, 2011 at 3:56 PM

Wow.

We now realize that we are not a trolls, after all.

Dan is the Slog Troll.

I made it 26 seconds. Anything important I missed?

Posted by Canadian Nurse on January 20, 2011 at 6:41 PM

@18 - Nope. You missed less then nothing, you're actually ahead of the game by skipping out.

Posted by veo_ on January 20, 2011 at 6:51 PM

This isn't even accurate. Trolls don't try to hurt anyone; they're just trying to make the internet a funnier place. If trolls upset you, you clearly just have no sense of humor.

Posted by venomlash on January 20, 2011 at 9:37 PM

@20: Hahaha! You're a moron.

Posted by Greg on January 20, 2011 at 10:41 PM

I post at the same forum as BrokeTheInterweb and she's an attention whore idiot

Posted by Skit on January 20, 2011 at 10:45 PM

@21: I sincerely hope you're countertrolling.

Posted by venomlash on January 21, 2011 at 10:37 AM

Boxxy is no more "queen of the trolls" than Fox is "king of the news".

Posted by Namenottakem on January 22, 2011 at 6:31 PM

Ironic that Fox—the biggest troll in the nation—was completely incorrect in their definition of what a troll is. *face-palm*

Posted by Jesse on January 22, 2011 at 7:14 PM

"A board full of anonymous people with social problems"- LOL well no one can really argue with that. Fox News sure hates 4chan. When are they going to discover /y/ and do an outraged report on it? Because that will be hilarious.

SEE BOXXY ON FAUX NEWS, WAT DO?

Boxxy is/was the "Queen of /b/" so to Fox News I'm sure that's synonymous with her being the queen of trolls.

Trolls are nothing. Ever hear of Anonymous? They're hackers on steroids!

Posted by concerned_citizen on January 25, 2011 at 9:12 AM

People that don't like Fox News are incestuous baby-eating Stalin clones, and most are AIDS-ridden anchor children.

Now watch you all engage in ad hominem instead of discussing the menace of "internet trolling." I would actually prefer you all carried out a serious discussion, but I know you don't listen to advice even from people who want to help. Because your gods Karl Marx and Osama Bin Laden won't let you!

Internet trolling is not free speech, it's an attack on everything that's best about America and the free world.

Posted by Concerned American on January 25, 2011 at 11:16 AM

I don't see what's wrong with this, it seems like an okay report on trolling to me.

Posted by WAoN on February 7, 2011 at 11:22 AM

Oh lord, that Ashley girl has what appears to be a Blue Link doll. I want that so bad. I briefly forgot how shameless she is.
