    That's a really good point. This kind of thing ain't unprecedented.
    Mind if I ask what the original broadcast was?

    Anyone who thought that page was real after reading "Mario could not be reached for comment" should be castrated or shot. And anyone who read the whole thing and wanted to write Congress is too stupid to waste a perfectly good bullet on.

    "President Bush has already indicated he's opposed to Square-Enix role playing games. "Mario doesn't blow up power plants" Bush said on thursday. Mario was unavailible for comment."

    "I mean, look at the size of Tifa's breasts! They're destroying our childrens future. The problem of explicit video games is spiraling out of control." Clinton wrote in a letter to the head of the Federal Trade Commission. Tifa's breasts were unavailible for comment."

    Hahahahaahahaahah XD

    I'm sure Jack Chick would love to ban FFVII anyway. But there is no article on his site about that, only that REALLY COOL D&D comic, wich made me burn my house just in case I forgot something having to do with magic.

    Could someone provide a link to the article? I haven't seen it elsewhere, but I'd like to read it...

    Thanks. I needed some comic relief. Excuse me while I spend the next few minutes laughing hysterically.

    As funny as that is, it's more sad when gullible people read right over that and chalk it up to a serious CNN article.

    I saw this article posted on another site a few weeks ago. I laughed then, and I'm laughing now.

    There are a lot of gullible people focused on a certaing topic. What I mean is that there are times when people don't believe what they read because it does not involve with their views on something. As soon as something pops up about a certain topic that they agree on, then they become gullible.

    *mocks you* haha.

    T-MaN, you are correct though, if I'm interpreting your post right. If there's a story about something that we care about, in this case, Final Fantasy, we tend to get a bit more emotionally involved than with a story involving something we don't give a wit about, and an interest in or an attachment to something is a breeding-ground for gullibility and leads to a better chance of taking an article like that at face value.

    There was an article I saw on one of these joke news sites about a "lion slaying 40 midgets". Before knowing it was a joke, my first reaction was one of mixed hilarity at the headline and disbelief at the horrible death of so many people in a freak circus accident. It was because I found a story like that to be extremely believable that I didn't question the source until a little later. It can happen to anyone I suppose, unless you're one of those hardened cynics who doesn't believe anything they hear or read.

    The way this story was written though, it didn't even attempt to be realistically written, since the author probably knew he could get a rise out of fans simply by bringing up the game, I suppose. I know that it worked on some people at other sites.

    I took T-MaN's post slightly differently. The way I understood it, he was saying that people will generally not question the accuracy of a source as long as it agrees with what they personally believe.
