Talk:Lesbian gang epidemic
That's about the most bizarre thing I can think of. Is he even trying to sound credible any more? --Kels 06:49, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

- Well, anyone can check "what links here" and correct the in-links. Then Doc or I, or any other sysop, can delete the old unneeded version. humanbe in 13:28, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
- I was a step ahead on the in-links, but can't do much after that except track down a sysop and ask him/her politely. But since the sysop was asking me it threw me for a loop. ollïegrïnd 13:32, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

Anyone else think we should drop the quote marks? None of our other neological articles use them... humanbe in 17:07, 30 September 2007 (EDT)

Fact or sarcasm? -- O'Reilly mistook a lesbian exploitation film for a factual documentary?[edit]
Was that statement tongue-in-cheek, or serious, that perhaps O'Reilly saw one of the lesbian exploitation films and mistook it for a documentary? Did O'Reilly mention such a movie as factual reference? I ask, because I really don't know.
I know for a fact, that in the deep south, an article in Southern Living Magazine convinced many literal minded people that the fictional "Lone Ranger" was an actual historical figure. And many of these readers are college educated! (but in technical subjects) The magazine article, back in the 1970s, mentioned that the Texas Rangers' Museum had an exhibit honoring each ranger who had died in the line of duty. At the end of this long grey line of memorials, was an exhibit honoring the most famous Ranger, known the world over as the Lone Ranger. When questioned concerning the possible tongue-in-cheek, comic relief of this final exhibit, placed at the museum exit, readers' responses were along the lines of "but... but... they've got his actual guns... and the mask, too!"
Perhaps there should be a museum of unintentional hoaxes and urban legends?
Nowadays there is so much sarcasm on the internet that it is difficult to separate satire from that which is intended to be statements of fact. Or perhaps this sarcasm overload has made people more skeptical than they were back in the 1970s?
Myself, I still can't figure out when O'Reilly and other commentators are serious, or sarcastic. LOL!— Unsigned, by: 71.207.203.133 / talk / contribs
