Full report here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1cgHEWG-BA). I, for one, solute the Georgia police force for having the courage to admit that they convicted the wrong black man.

Between this story and the Confederacy thread I'm worried about Stacy. Seriously.

Stacy?

I'm the one who just grew a beard. I'll be lucky if I don't get animal control called on me the next time I go rummaging through trashcans.

I really want to believe Lester thinks this is a real news story, because that would be awesome.

I'm not going to lie. I thought the story was 100 percent real, primarily because I listened to it rather than watched it. I'm sure had I watched it I would have known it was fake. At least I hoped I would but it's too late to find out now.

Crap. I forgot about April Fools. Though again, I'm surprised a YouTube video from the "Onion News Network" fooled anyone.

Seriously, which line convinced you it was real, "the last photograph she took before she died, a self portrait of her and two bear cubs" or "which led investigators to call him 'The Salmon Killer'"?

I'm really curious.

Again I didn't watch it until after I found out it was fake. I'm not distrusting or skeptical by nature so I wasn't questioning the details when I listened to the story.

Yes. I did good on the test required to be a lawyer but chose not to go to law school because I hate the job as well as the justice system which is about protecting the law rather than people.

I've always loved helping people and psychology so that seems like a much better fit. I have my Bachelor's degree so I can get into a graduate school once I can get a loan. With my credit score that should not be a problem but there is no liquidity right now with the economy the way it is.

When I heard that I thought that meant he stole the items in the trunk and that's how they cops found him. I just assume he was a vagrant or something. I didn't think they meant he literally ripped off the trunk but ripped off as in stolen.

Self-portraits are never flattering Hybrid. I took a picture of myself once using a webcam and Ben has posted it hundreds of times attached to various bodies.:mad:

No. My current avatar is that of another poster named Section 8. We are honoring him this week so the posters are doing so in a way that pays homage to him.

No you didn't.

You "did well".

"Did good" is not English, never was English, and G-d willing will never be English.
