I am not flaming anyone.

There is a real issue underneath this all that exists whether or not Dean made this up. And it is something that has happened before. So, there is truth in the issue itself.

This particular story is a complete hoax perpetrated by Dean himself in order to draw traffic and links to his web site.

Please read through the load of comments on Slashdot for this article. They provide a practical look into Dean's lies as well as an interesting discussion into the issue itself.

Thanks!

Cut him some slack and knock the extraneous two characters on the end of the /. URL. It will work. The two characters are ')' and '.'.

Pascal,

"I don't think it's a hoax. This is too good to be invented."

I would disagree with how 'good' it is, if I were sure what you meant. Disregarding that, good cons are really believable which is why they work.

The truth needs to be set free regarding this malicious viral campaign. Obviously Dean will not allow that truth to be posted to his own site. I certainly hope I won't find the same result here on yours.

Thanks for your time.
