Practical jokes on the Internet

[jducoeur]

Y'know, there's a worthwhile sociological experiment to be done: spread the word that Nigeria doesn't really exist -- it's just a hoax invented for the purpose of fake Internet rumors. Anything you hear about Nigeria is, by definition, false.

The Net is just primed for this. I bet a fair number of people would believe it...

The funny thing is, your message about imaginary Nigeria came out just above this message of Justin's on my friends list. :-) I'm looking forward to the results with an equal measure of dread and fascination.

I really hope it doesn't work... But with Obama being a muslim and having that awful anti-white preacher, too... I have a feeling it might.

Thing is, it would take large groups of ignorant people for this idea to spread, because anybody who knows is going to want to set their friends straight.
