What I love is the quote by someone who used "lulz" as though it were something tangible. Little did the reporter, Mattathias Shwartz, know that he'd just become the butt of a great joke.
That is, someone who knows anything at all about something lying to a New York Times reporter to make them look like an ass.
The incident surrounding the young man, the son who died, isn't something I condone, but for God sakes, this article is so obviously written by a n00b that it's funny.

Heh, at least it's not as bad as that "Naruto Sand Ninja" business...

I thought it was even better. Narutu Sand Ninjas. It's never a good sign when the news tries to touch anything pop culture, since for some reason, reporters are just slightly more out of touch than Republicans.
I say slightly more because Republicans have aides to tell them what to say. Reporters just say bullshit.

THE INTERNET.... It is serious business. being able to say whatever you want without consequences will bring the A***** in most people. I've been visiting other forums and I've seen so many trolls that it's really sad. It makes me appreciate this how there so few of it here :3. As for the article. It's scary how far people will go.
^That's assuming it's true, of course it's not entirely untrue some parts of the article, though it's really hard to tell now who's joking and who's just being an ass, i have quite a few stories of such individuals that are both sad and entertaining, though to differentiate who is and isn't a troll is sometimes hard.
