    BBC5 (fake website)

    BBC5.tv - http://www.bbc5.tv/

    I don't know how long this site will last as it undoubtedly breaks a few copyright laws (and probably more) but it's a copy of the BBC's website and is clearly aimed at spreading nonsense.

    Lots of stuff on conspiracy thinking, including a lot of Icke stuff, and has obviously had a fair bit of time and money spent on it.

    I wonder how many people will be taken in by it?

    Well there're quite prominantly forsakign any conenction with the British Broadcasting Corporation, so that's a reasobnable defence against passing off. However the style and layout is very similar right down to the Clock in the top right. Of course the use of the term BBC is an even greater issue, especially in association with TV.

    I imagine they'll use the notoriety of the copyright issues as a publicity tool. More evidence of how the establishment attempts to silence the truth and as they've forced to they'll morph to another brand.

    What an amazing collection of shit all in one place together.

    And, as is common with loony believers, lots of mutually contradictory stuff.

    Yes, it is. It's a satire.

    Is that why it spells scepticism with a K then?

    Yes, that's the sign to those 'in the know'.

    Well it fooled me
    I'd say it takes itself pretty damn seriously ... but then again, what do I know?

    Maybe, but if you think about it you are also an amazing collection of sh*t too - biologically speaking of course.

    Furthermore why are people like you so quick to flame - you expect these guys to present a formal analysis of a subject so why do you think your own rules don't apply and for god/probabilities sake provide a formal rebuttal please.

    I thought about it but, of course, being a loony believer you are wrong. I'm made of sugar and spice and all things nice, you're a dumb sack of shit.

    So now you just resort to plain insults - ha ha :) - at least my comment had some degree of wit (subjective of course) to underline a serious point. Scepticism is about cold hard facts and proper analysis. For example I never sad I believed in the content I merely pointed out that you can't make spurious claims like this without backing them up (you just extrapolated that without empirical evidence)- otherwise your just as bad as the fruit loops on the other side. Why do you feel so emotional about this? - that is counter-productive to the cause friend.

    What cause would that be?

    Truth! - I'm also quite interested in why hardcore sceptics are so emotional -just doesn't seem to add up. You guys are so easy to troll its like taking candy from a baby.

    Perhaps the nihilistic basis of aethism makes you feel bleak and disconnected. this is what happens when you 'worship' the void with such fervour and certainty.

    At least as an agnostic I can honestly put my hands up and say I haven't got a f*cking clue. To us agnostics you guys are like our Islamic fundamentalists.

    Come on flame me some more - I'm loving it
