about 4 months ago one of my buddy made up a rumor that carlos boozer was going to get traded to houston. he went on jazzfanz and started a thread saying he just heard on one of the local sports radio that there has been talk between jazz and the rockets to send boozer to houston for ron artest and luis scola. everything my buddy said said was bull. http://www.jazzfanz.com/viewtopic.php?p=684535#p684535. just an hour later a clutchfans member made a thread about this rumor and that thread was flooded with comments. I don't have the link from clutchfans but here is he link from realGM. http://www.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=881230.this was talked about on 610 and it was in front page of hoopsworld. http://www.***************/Story.asp?story_id=11578. insert hoops world .com after www. Any ways everyone knew this trade was never going to happen but it was pretty scary to know what one person can do with a keyboard.
There's a reason those websites show a bunch of stars. To keep crap like your fake rumors from infecting the site.
good for your friend? i guess the power of the internet also allows anyone to waste other peoples time with nonsense like this
But you did start this ridiculous thread. I bet you thought that everyone was going to think that you and your friend are so awesome!
Why is everyone getting so hung up on this...lol, you guys need to relax. Who cares what his friend did...the fact that someone posts something on a jazz website and then it gets converted to an actual article on a basketball website is pretty interesting. Nothing more, nothing less.
seriously. this is more about the way memes and Internet phenomena happen, not a Rockets rumor. that's why it's in Hangout, much like the "meme brought back to life" thread.
Your friend sounds like the type of person who would go to a movie theater and yell, "Fire!" ... you know... a real turd.
That's like saying I banged your mom and everyone on clutchfans or whoever has a computer believes me... that's the problem with the media now adays...run a story without the facts...
Dude, you banged his mom? I found out on fakersground.net about it....sweet! IT HAS TO BE TRUE IF IT'S ON THE INTERNETZ!
