You must watch this video!

This is very scarey stuff and I almost can't believe it.

It's from the Onion. Holy Cow.
Are you for real?!
You're kidding, right?!

Why should I watch something from a senator that does not exist about a subject that is made up?

It is a spoof, not real, its from onion not c-span

Doh !!! beaten to the punch by cluckerspud. replied while I was typing

Just in case the OP does not realize...

The onion is your satirical answer to breaking/pressing news.

think of it as "the daily show" about nonsense of the net.


-edit- This is the very reason you should research before posting a thread...
A couple of SIMPLE google searches would have stopped your knee-jerk post.

I know this isn't school, but geeezus, do
your homework before you post.

Search tools, cross check etc.

This [CLASSIFIED] doesn't [CLASSIFIED] sense due to [CLASSIFIED] being [CLASSIFIED] used every [CLASSIFIED] word.

Sorry, I [CLASSIFIED] get it. [CLASSIFIED]

I don't know if it's real; it sure looks that way to me. If someone knows for a fact that this isn't real then I will be relieved!

I'm not an investigator I just stumbled on this and am sharing it.

HOLY CRAP!!!!!
IT'S NOT REAL!!!!!!!!!!
Did you read any of the following posts?!
Onion, newspaper, not real, satire...

Still not sure?!

Don't let these reply's get you down, it is a good idea to do a search to cross reference articles or videos you come across.
We also like to read the OP's opinion or thoughts when posting videos.

Welcome to ATS too

Post away man...everyone learns from mistakes and to HELL with what everyone else thinks.

To be honest with ya, I had never seen the video before....
It did concern me for a few minutes then I noticed the Onion where C was suppose to be. so I googled "John Haller". I didn't want to flame ya, but before posting something like that, ya need to research it before you do. A lot of people wont search it and spread it around like a bad case of ..........

Well said my friend. Im glad you spoke up, I looked and thought I was going to be the only one.

OP, as Sauron said, dont let these rude posts (and there were alot of rude posts, and IMO borderline T&C violations) get you down.

When I first started I made quite a few threads that didnt go over very well. Hey, I still do actually . My first few threads got no more than about 2 or 3 posts so in that sense you are off to a much better start than I had! But now my most succesfull thread has had 400 posts and is still growing.

Anyway, just for future information, although you know now, the onion is just satire.

Most people on ATS are very nice and are always willing to help if you have a question. I just dont want this one thread to give you the wrong idea about the kind of people that are on ATS. EVERYONE on ATS has made a mistake as far as this site goes, so they really have no room to judge you. Anyone that says they havent is a liar! Just remember that and dont let it bother you.

Anyway, Like Sauron and I have said, dont let a few ugly posts get you down. Just keep on keeping on and you will get with the flow.

Well, now im just rambling so let me just say, welcome to ATS my friend. I hope you enjoy every second you spend on ATS.

Here's hoping you find the truth you are searching for within the posts of ATS.
