4chan Making Local News w/ "Pool's Closed" Sign Prank
herald-zeitung.com — A woman who said a racist group targeted her grandchildren this week claims to have received hundreds of anonymous phone calls since her story hit the airwaves. “I’m now on the Internet, with people making fun of me in the thousands,” Mary Alice Altorfer said Thursday. “These geeks online are a bunch of homophobics, racists and mysoginists."

- serrebi, on 07/18/2008, -5/+6Thought the 4chan ***** was immature. This just proves it.
- Overmind12812, on 07/18/2008, -3/+3Looks like anonymous strikes again, except this time it's a poor old lady instead of Scientology. Is anyone safe?
- mardybum, on 07/18/2008, -4/+3Nope... Anonymous was harassing innocent people long before this, but the whole Scientology thing just made them look like heroic vigilantes rather than the scumbags they really are.
- benologist, on 07/19/2008, -3/+2I really don't think "heroic vigilantes" is the right description although I'm sure it's the one they'd prefer.
You don't really need much ballage to stand around outside a building with a mask on and a group of people filming every second hoping a scientologist will confront them, but safe in your knowledge that the worst case scenario is a passing car splashing mud on your poorly fitting multiple-polo shirt ensemble.

- Ythan, on 07/18/2008, -4/+3"Altorfer [...] says she receives a phone call — usually racist — 'about every minute and a half.' [...] Altorfer said random bank accounts have begun to pop up in her name, as have magazine subscriptions and even food orders."
4chan is such a cesspit. What kind of sociopaths get their kicks by unjustly harassing an old woman? The sooner people recognize "Anonymous" as the worthless drones they are, the better. - mardybum, on 07/18/2008, -4/+44channers need to grow up, and ol' granny needs to lurk moar.

- jwalske, on 07/19/2008, -2/+0My home town! Woohoo! /sarcasm
- WyldeJ, on 07/19/2008, -0/+2If you visit the site the majority hate this public *****. Moot even think it sucks. It's the newfags who think their internet celebrities for doing it. So don't start all this bull.
- automan, on 07/19/2008, -0/+5I think it spells it out in the article. She is president of the homeowners association. She is used to having power over people and when people prank her and the police do not take it seriously, she feels it undermines her power. I think the prank was good for her. Maybe it'll ground her a bit more in the real world.
- ileftfark, on 07/19/2008, -1/+1What ***** chan uses avatars?
- thealec, on 07/19/2008, -1/+0They made a cartoon afro man.
In what way is this like the kkk? - dty2010, on 07/19/2008, -1/+0They're finally going to get what they deserve. They've messed with the wrong granny.
- aidsandiabeetus, on 07/22/2008, -0/+04chan doesn't even do this ***** anymore, however Gaia is still trying to get a "win" under their belt. My personal opinion is that it was them.
- pvPicatta, on 07/22/2008, -0/+0lol, 4chan has nothing to do with this.
All the same, I find it funny how people pin everything on 4chan, when there hasn't been a raid actually organized there in at least a year. (Not to mention that making a raid thread earns you a ban) - Kakama, on 07/26/2008, -0/+1Oh come on, let's stop whining, 4chan = all of us, whether you added 3 or multiplied by 105 or whateverthehell 711'd, let us laugh at our merrymaking /b/rothers in the name of 4chan and all that is good and lulz with the world; numbers and URLs are a mere inconvenient fact. -Blah blah legion blah blah many ***** united, divided, zero, dicks, etc-
So moving on to my initial reaction:
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHH
To followup, I came upon a funny concept and though:
BUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
And lastly I checked the color ink on this printer. Time to go make an IRL post, here's hoping I don't get b&.
