October Surprise countdown

More on one of the developers of the site.

Obama and Sarah Palin have a love child together. Romney is secretly a Mormon and uses Just For Men to get the perfect shade of gray in his hair. Ryan posed with that kicker from the Vikings for some nakid pekturs, and Biden is still an asshole.

You read it here first…surprise!!

Rickroll.

The October Surprise site is run by the same guys that did the “Greatest RickRoll Ever” in 2007.

I’m sure it’s nothing, but I hope it’s the Noid.

It’s really weird. I’ve tried clicking on the “October Surprise” link three times now, and all three times I’ve gotten an error message that my connection was reset. Also, my NOD32 is claiming that the site has a Trojan Horse threat.

I got a Trojan Horse warning. The obvious conclusion is that the whole thing is a scam to distribute malware.

It is now an actual RickRoll, FYI.

Come on. Did ANYONE take this website seriously?

Mittens made tens of millions from the auto and bank bailouts but doesn’t want anyone to get wind of this by way of his tax papers. Surprise!

A lot of bloggers did. I don’t know if the broadcast media ever picked it up.

A Rick Astley video? Is that supposed to be a practical joke or what?

Another data point for my theory that 98% of bloggers should be totally ignored.

Welcome to 2008.

Sadly it wasn’t even that clever. Is there really anyone who thinks it is likely some earth shattering piece of info is likely to be leaked via the Internet?

To be fair, Wikileaks has done a lot to prime the pump for such a belief.

The Donald is claiming to have something big. I mean, besides his inflated ego.

He’s gon’ Tweet this game changer!

Heh. He says he knows Fox will cover it, so it must be legit!

At least we know that part (Fox covering it extensively) will be true!
