Anonymous Declares War on Snow

[similar.squirrel]

It's probably a case of inb4 The Onion.

I think this is what happened:

Anonymous is realizing that they're getting major media coverage now, and the 'media' is targeting 4chan and watching what anonymous has to say.
Now, anonymous is creating fake campaigns that they want people to follow, taking their eyes away from the 'real' campaigns they are waging.
What are the real campaigns, you ask? I don't know. My guess is anon wants to keep them secretive, and this whole 'rally against snow' is a way to pull the wool over our eyes.

This battle can not be won.. For SNOW is the one true master of the human race...

 

[jpoon]

This is hilarious! I'll try to support it but we thin people don't have the hang time in snow that all of you fatties have...

 

[oreopizza47]

Is it wrong to find this so disproportionately hilarious compared to the subject matter? Usually Anon does really dumb things that at least make sense, or they do in their convoluted method of thinking. This is just... wow. I don't think anyone else could've come up with something of this nature.

 

[thirion1850]

They see me shovelin', they hatin'...

 

[Ekonk]

Just after they prove themselves awesome by helping ('helping') Wikileaks, they do something retarded like this.

I don't think I'll ever understand Anonymous.

 

[tahrey]

ahhh, 4chan, you horrible, despicable, beautiful, hilarious bastards. i support this campaign wholeheartedly.

though 5p and a lolly stick says this is the work of The Onion.

Unless that's a very wry* joke, I have to question what happened to your sense of humour. This is awesome.

*yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, za warudo, knives, etc.

 

[Roxor]

I'm not taking this the least bit seriously.

I think someone is trying to destroy Anonymous' credibility.

 

[Reaper195]

YES! Of course! Let's protest against one of the most natural things in the world! I won't wear outside gear and freeze my fucking ass off and get frost bite and loose appendages! Damn you, SNOW!

Seriously...is there anyone older than sixteen in Anon? This is getting fucking ridiculous.

 

[TerribleAssassin]

Is that a joke I can't tell.

No, Anonymous are a bunch of hackers who target things they don't like.

Also, they'll bring it down soon, they'll just have to be patience.

PS: Instruction No. 5 made me chuckle, I might do it because I can!

You never know when it comes to anon.

They're winning in Texas. There was a high of 76 last week and this Monday there is a high of 71. Last year it snowed on Christmas.

 

[nathan-dts]

They certainly have softened up recently over at 4 Chan; you don't here anything genuinely bad about them anymore and they have started contributing to good causes.

 

[Therumancer]

As much as I think Anonymous are just a bunch of useless teenagers trying to grab attention, this actually made me laugh. The sheer ridiculousness of this makes me think that maybe 4chan actually can do something amusing every once in a while.

Congratulations on making my day more amusing, Anonymous. If only more of the things you did were amusing pranks and not bullshit about how piracy should be legal.

I don't think it's Anonymous, or if it is they are just showing that they have a sense of humor.

See, the thing is that anyone can claim to be a member usually. I also think that the differance between Anonymous and the hordes of /B/ is not well known, even to many members of the hordes of /B/.

I have mixed opinions on their actions and targets over the years, but then again I figure it's like that for most people. I'd point out that Anonymous has succeeded in landing some pretty impressive cyber-attacks over the years, taking down websites from major goverments and the like even if it was short term (at least from what I'm reading). Anonymous can also ruin a relatively ordinary person's life rather easily if they decide to focus their ire.

Even if you disrespect the group and what it does, I think dismissing them as just a bored group of teenagers is a mistake. Even if that *IS* their membership they have still done enough where you can't dismiss them as a random group of trolls, and truthfully with some of the things attributed to them I think they need to have more than bored teenagers in their ranks. I'd personally suspect that Anonymous probably has a decent core membership (as much as it has one) of computer professionals. Down the road if there was ever some kind of expose I think you'd probably find that a lot of the people involved worked for the IS departments of some of the companies and offices targeted over the years, and probably has it's masses mostly at a collegiate level, with some of the people teaching computer courses in differant places involved. I'm hardly an expert, but given the lack of reported success in tracking them down, I'd imagne a lot of their attacks have been centalized from school computer labs (which would involve the approval of people in the administration) where there are powerful systems that see a lot of potential users and a lot of traffic, making it hard to pin anyone down even if they were located. At the level of some of these operations, I don't think the heavy lifting was being done by 15 year olds on Mommy's computer.

Stop whining, Americans, you have no idea what REAL snow is.

Up here in Canada, we get snow.

 

[Arcane Azmadi]

What a bunch of stupid douchebags.

 

[lizards]

anon must have had a bunch of new stoners join up

 

[TheEndlessSleep]

Let me get this straight.... they think that the weather stations actually control the weather???

Don't worry guys, 'Hackers' that dumb can't have the mental capacity to hack anything serious.

I hope to god that this is a joke, for the sake of humanity...
