AC = Domestic Terrorists?
Miang writes "A video from a recent FOX 11 (Los Angeles) newscast has surfaced on YouTube. In the segment, reporter Phil Shuman investigates so-called "Hacker Gangs" comprised entirely of anonymous users. The segment, which focuses mainly on users at 4chan, 7chan, and 420chan, seems to confuse /b/ raids and motivational poster templates with a genuine threat to the American public. For added FUD, the FOX team inserted an unrelated video of a van blowing up — twice! Presumably, one is intended to equate anonymous posting with domestic terror. The story and video can be found on the local FOX website, so it does not appear to be simply a clever parody." Cringe as you watch this video explain terms like 'LULZ' and show inspirational poster parodies as evidence of the evils of this terrifying "Group".
How dare you, Slashdot, call us - Anonymous, a COWARD?!
I ... wha ... ha ... za ... fuh?
Either the words don't exist to describe just how stupid these people are, or I'm too stupid to describe how stupid they are.
And the FOX reporters are worse!
I'm serious, you all step back, or i'll blow this place SKY HIGH!
They did it for the LULZ!
.... you don't get any karma. :(
I keep telling myself I'm not the desperate type.
I've got nothing, really.
Have you been touched by his noodly appendage?
And the last half doing poor math? :P

They bought a dog. How are you gonna get past their dog? Huh? Huh? Didn't think of that, did you?

You expected fair and balanced reporting from Fox News? Ever watch Fox News before? They're the first news service in history to qualify in the dramatic series category for the Emmy Awards.
Are you referring to the hackers, the reporters, or FOX?
But that's the only way we can get "Truly Epic Lulz"!
Shit lads, they're on to us! Quick, everyone start using our real names so they can't track us!
If only we knew who they were...
So... what you are saying is not true?
Yes, I am the one with the legendary sig.

We're all the same person anyway. I'm with me!
It's little wonder groups like Al Qaeda are outmaneuvering Bush and the other conservatives: the Bushites are so fearful, they only know what they can see from their "undisclosed location". Conservative = coward.
Cowardservatives!
"there is absolutely NOTHING which conservatives don't live in terror of" you say? Hmmm, I consider myself to be somewhat conservative, and yet there are quite a few things that I don't live in terror of. For instance, I'm not at all scared of bunny rabbits. Well, perhaps if I met the bunny rabbit that was featured in the absolutely terrifying documentary "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", I might be scared, but I certainly hold no fear of your average garden-variety bunny rabbit.
Oh, yeah, plush Cthulhu toys. They don't scare me. Well, as long as they're not the plush Cthulhu slippers of course, but that goes without saying.
Kiwi fruit. Sure, they scare me, but I think that "terror" is pushing it a bit far. I might cross the street to avoid one, but I've never yet run screaming from a Kiwi fruit.
In conclusion, I would like to state that your characterization of conservatives as being terrified of absolutely everything is not only inaccurate, but comes close to li . . . libe . . . written slander. Sorry, I've always been terrified of that word.

Sorry, I've always been terrified of that word. Are you aware of the fact that Fox News just broke a story reporting that the NSA has discovered a plan by Al Quaeda to unleash upon the unsuspecting US public an of an army of Cthulhu slipper wearing bunny-rabbit ninjas armed with hand grenades disguised as kiwi fruit? Unfortunately this discovery was only made a few seconds before a delegation from FAKFG, the American Federation of kiwi fruit growers, arrived to present president Bush with a fruit basket. Apparently president Bush was seen running out of his oval office, screaming loudly, the moment he saw the delegation. According to this same Fox News report the incident was triggered when a malicious hacker sent the FAKFG delegation an E-Mail from the White House mail server requesting that they show up in bunny-rabbit suits and wearing Cthulhu slippers but this has not been confirmed by White House sources yet.
I don't understand this Fox story... They keep going on about groups of hackers and suchlike, but as far as I can see, this is all being done by this guy 'anonymous'. Why don't they just catch him?
