Hoax space flight on TelevisionFollow

Clicky

Channel4 in the UK are staging a hoax that could work out VERY well or very poorly, either way I am looking forward to it.

They have some volunteers who beleive they have travelled to a Russian space agency to learn all about space travel. They do not realise they are in fact still in England.

The producers plan to let the volunteers think they are launched into space. I have no idea how they will stage this. If the volunteers beleive they are in space, this will truly be a spectacular programme!

I will be glued to this for a while

I am surprised we Brits are staging this though. In the US you have a real space programme and you do make launches and have real astronaughts.
Adding the legitimacy of Nasa to a hoax like this could be very very amusing.

So my question is ... are people silly enough to think they are in space when they are no where near?

They used those planes to show weightlessness in the movie Apollow 13. Is that sort of like the truman show? hehe i wonder if they will broadcast that in the US somewhere.





There is that whole conspiracy that said that We Americans staged the moon landing too so if it were true we have a bit of experiance in staging stuff like that.

You aren't too sensitive. This is the kind of s[b][/b]hit that causes people to snap and kill others.

In the US, definatly.

Brits will prolly laugh and say "jolly good ruse!".

I pretty much agree that this is too cruel a joke.

So my question is ... are people silly enough to think they are in space when they are no where near?

Of course they will. People are morons.

Plus in this case, gay tootheless ones too. What could be better?

It'll be like watching the old show tv's bloopers and practical jokes.


See what I'm saying about the moron thing?

So i'm a moron because I'm interested in seeing the out come? You didn't flame the OC when this was stated....


No, you're a moron because you harkened back to the 'good old days' of fuc[/b]king blooper shows in a non ironic way.

As if that sickening display of recycled banal celbrity didn't allready cause me to vomit at the mere mention of it, the fact that someone actually really was the target demographic for it and enjoyed it, and without a doubt bought whatever was advertised at them with glassy eyed complicity at Wal Mart makes me seriously ponder suicide to avoid having to live in a world with people like you. Worse, where people like you are the majority.

It's your fault, you see. You're the reason studios slap happy endings onto movies, that I even know who Paris Hilton is, that intelligence and education is seen as suspicous and untrustworthy, and that people vote for the guy who's going to fuc[b]k the gays even though it's completely against their self intrest in every way.

It's you. Of course you won't understand any of that, will you? No. Because it wasn't dumbed down to 8th grade reading level and delivered by saccrine smiling big ****** blonde.

(Just kidding about the suicide thing, naturally.)

Hav a nice day.

You called?



You're losing your touch, softy.

Nexa

You watch survivor don't you....

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that was a joke.

I'd rather have my left nut crushed into a vice and then be forced to drink the resulting blie, blood, and ***** that leaked out than watch Survivor.

I think a line was just crossed there... That was just far too graphic. [:pukesmiley:]







Well done.

We know. That's the point.

OK you are right I'm a poduct of the new age school system I'm dumb as nails and can't even get off of my fat *** to change the channel on my 13 inch black and white television set so i have the channel stuck on CBS all day. Oh and I love twinkies.


There does that make you happy?

The saddest part is you think that's sarcasm. Sarcasm is by defenition untroe, however :( Oh how I envey your happy ignorance. What joy to be stupid enough to enjoy television.

To think I have to rely on Heroin.
