Three years later…
Fox have had YouTube pull the video. You can add that to your DMCA rants postings, if you like.

That Fox clip is sensationalistic, but is threatening someone to slit his throat still funny? I hope the caller was caught.

I like how the guy he’s interviewing makes it obvious that “Anonymous” is more than one person but the guy doing the report continues on as though it’s a single person called “Anonymous” to continue the fear-mongering nonsense.

Pretty typical of Faux Noise

Btw, here is an explanation for the uninitiated:

Anonymous is not a group. Anonymous is sort of a meme that originated on english language futaba image boards like 4chan, 7chan and etc which allow anonymous posting. Every time someone posts an image or a comment and leaves name/email fields blank it will appear as posted by “Anonymous”. Some boards force anonymous posting for one reason or another.

Hence, Anonymous is everyone and no one. Anonymous never forgives, never forgets, always delivers and etc… Anonymous is a group think of a given board.

And yes – there were demotivational posters there, because that’s what gets posted on most of these boards like 90% of the time: demotivators, silly memes, hentai, porn and etc.

Ocassionally they raid other communities to post memes and obscenities. And sometimes someone posts bunch of pished myspace passwords and people who were stupid enough to fall for it get their accounts “altered” in creative ways.

Hardly “hackers on steroids” stuff.

hehe.. “demonstration”..

and the meme picture at the end, I kinda doubt that was ever on this anonymouse website they kept going on about, looks like one of those demotivational posters to me

oh, and the guard dog looked too friendly to me, like he was just jumping at a biscuit held behind the camera – that little growl sounded more like “gimme the biscuit” than “I gonna kill your face”

[…] Kinda reminds me of that whole Internet Haet Machine failure produced by Fox. And here I thought that “investigative journalism” means that one has to objectively investigate the story. But there is nothing objective about what this woman did – and she was not investigating anything. […]
