    Confusing a T with a G should only happen on the keyboard, not in the head.

    Yes, let's assume a person that's CLINICALLY DEAD is going to just call the cops on Citizen's Band radio, or that someone trying to help said person is going to know how a CB radio works.

    Good job on rational thought.

    I live a life filled with fucking idiots that will do nothing but rubberneck and tweet/youtube the latest bullshit they see, and do nothing to try to help when time is of the absolute essence.

    I got hit by a truck in 2007. Lots of witnesses. Nobody called 911. It took the pair of people trying to save my life actually giving up performing CPR on me for a few minutes to find a house so they could dial 911. Lots of others around me, on their shitty iPhones, doing nothing but taking pictures.

    You're too ignorant to see the implied counter-argument.

    America was founded and we were labeled as terrorists by the British. We are terrorists by birthright, and as such, EVERY neighborhood in America is a bad one, one full of terrorists. Even our current leaders are straight-up terrorists.

    Oh, and you're alive, right? You owe ANY area on this earth your presence, since it's your home.

    No, it doesn't have to be obvious. In fact, China could slap the word "Insane" on the package and that's that. Even if it looks like normal ol Steve.

    Try again when you've had to defend yourself against parody lawsuits. I have. Good day. Back to Fark with you.

    No, I'm implying that this could EASILY be manufactured and done IRL. Of course, I know which principles they're using, and how said principles work.

    Sure, the video is CGI, but some of these people are saying the ENTIRE thing is fake. They obviously failed some advanced physics classes, or fell asleep in them.
