Well, when the rumor involved federal agents shooting my cat its really hard to have sympathy for anyone who seriously beleived it. This, on the other hand, was a bit more beleivable.

Okay, yeah, I remember yours now. Yours I didn't have a problem with because you dropped enough hints that it was not real that one could tell it was a good story.

Clive, on the other hand, needs to learn the definition of "funny". What he did wasn't much better than pranking someone by telling them their lunch was laced with cancer-causing mutagenic agents--you and I know that the sh*t he described actually happens to people. I clicked on the link for how to help, not once, but twice. What came up was a clone-up of one of the NIN Parefin sites, which, since I've been looking at them lately, seemed to me like he'd just made a local copy of one of them and got his links mixed up. It's not like the text on them is easily readable--if you've seen them before you see the page and think "Oh, that Year Zero page" and just move on. Both times I just figured I'd come back later and maybe he'd have it fixed...

Oh well, it's a good thing Clive doesn't live in Boston.
