View Full Version : copycat thread titles


The idea
22nd March 2004, 11:35 AM
A thread was entitled "Would you save a drowning person" [03-20-2004 12:33 PM]

The following are copycat thread titles:

(1) "Would you murder or save a drowning Hitler?" [Posted by shemp at 03-21-2004 04:10 PM]

(2) "Would you save a drowning witch?" [Posted by varwoche at 03-21-2004 06:49 PM]

Perhaps they are merely the sincerest form of flattery (imitation). However, my advisors have suggested that there might be a plan to mock the original thread or a plan to cloud the sea of threads with octopus ink.

Investigations are ongoing. If it is determined that the copycat threads were maliciously produced and if any are produced subsequent to this warning, my advisors have suggested the following course of action. Five fruit flies are to be taken from their natural environment and held hostage in a textureless, featureless, barren environment.

Don't bother contacting PETA. We have infiltrators at work there, so you would only be wasting your time. Your efforts would be fruitless.

According to the forums, at the time you posted this message, someone had already begun a thread titled "Similarly titled threads."

Does that count?

Ah, I didn't see it because I was looking for "Would you save a drowning thread?"

hahaha, I hate copycat thread titles as much as the next guy... but that's funny enough I'm almost tempted to do it. Heheh.

Or how about: "Would you murder the person who started a copycat thread title?"
