Booo!
Fun line of events, and
You totally busted the chat record!
[edit on 10/31/2004 by QuietSoul]
What many have witnessed in chat and several threads, is a homage
to one of the most brilliant minds to ever step behind microphone or sit in a director's chair, the esteemed
Mr. Orson Wells. Way back in 1938
his Mercury Theater Group radio play shocked the world, even though the
event was broadcast in the typical time slot and lasted the typical length of a weekly scheduled entertainment show.
Imagine what it may have been like in that era where only the radio and newspaper was your link to the external world. And imagine what a brilliant
mind like that of Mr. Wells might accomplish with a communication tool such as the Internet. We can only hope such minds are waiting in the wings to
inspire us all.
While many may be upset at this "hoax", we've been obviously careful to make it easy to discover, and stopped short of the death and destruction of
the original script.
A sampling of some of the board threads involved:
