The creators of the video know.
There are links to them claiming that a mask, from a festival, was used to "create" the alien in the origional thread
here .
....then my point that sensationalistic posts get more response is well within the T&C.
Ah, but posting knowingly misleading info is
not within the T&C.
People respond to tabloid type threads as opposed to others.
So while griping about "tabloid type threads", you figured you'd also
contribute to the problem?
So if a member sees you complain about what you deem to be a "crap" thread, they can say "Oh wait, thats right so did you." in regards to creating
"crap" threads?
Knowing now, that you intentionally create "sensationalistic posts", how is any member to know "when you are serious"? :shk:
I understand that you may feel miffed about your other thread not getting the attention that you feel it may deserve, but again, creating
"sensationalistic posts" is not the way to go about drawing attention to it (nor the way to try to prove a point). :shk:
Oh wait, thats right so did you.
Maybe you should re-read my initial "response" because you're not making much of a point here.
My "response" was:
A) This vid has been posted/discussed many times before.
B) Since when does an arm reaching out from behind a lightpost qualify as an "abduction".
In other words.
A) This topic has already been covered thus making this thread redundant.
B) You're sensationalizing (which you've now admitted) and posting misleading info.
Again, I understand that you may feel miffed about your other thread not getting the attention that you feel it may deserve, but, creating
"sensationalistic posts" is not the way to go about drawing attention to it (nor the way to try to prove a point). :shk:
Work to be a part of the solution, not a part of the problem.
