You guys all know that Adult Swim sign-off bumper "THE DAWN IS YOUR ENEMY"? There's a reason they don't show it anymore. The last day the bump was used as a sign-off, instead of the normal running time of nine seconds (estimated), it ran for an extended period of time until the automated services were overtaken by manual operation.We all know the sound that shook our childhoods (or teen years). The resonating metal, the rumbles, the sound of metal scraping against metal. Feel free to look it up if you're a bit rusty.Now, when the audio cuts, it doesn't sound complete. It's not finished, not over. The producers of AS/CN were purposely cutting off the rest of the sound, and for good reason. What followed was the exact reason why you'll never see this bumper again on the air.Once again, it supposedly only runs for about nine seconds. This is a rough transcript of the usual audio: resonating metal, followed by a rumble, followed by scraping metal and another rumble. End bumper. So what could you put together with that? Nothing rings a bell, right? Exactly.The part that they used was utilized effectively to scare off children that were still tuned in to Adult Swim. It even gave adults goosebumps, because it was that good. It's closely rivaled with the hammer clinks in the "William Street" production card in terms of nightmare fuel.Getting back on topic, usually a Cartoon Network employee would enter the control room left by an Adult Swim crew member and take over. It wasn't quite the case that day, however. The usual man scheduled to cue the sign-on and such programming for CN for some reason did not start for the day. No one knows if he did this purposely, and whether or not his contract was terminated. This was the least of problems CN had at the time.
>>154665682What followed the common nine seconds was an extended two-minute broadcast of some of the most horrifying audio ever heard on public television. The metal continued to resonate, and the scraping continued. Slowly, an uncontrollable sobbing became clearer. Not only one person was crying, but a multitude of people were screaming and yelling.As the metal scraped, the screaming grew louder. Soon, you could hear the slicing of flesh, the grinding of bones, the gushing of blood, and the guttural death rattles of people dying. All across the United States, millions of children and adults were being exposed to what sounded like a barbaric mass murder. People were calling in all across the country, crying or screaming or begging for it to be turned off. Something kept their eyes attached to the screen, and kept them listening to the broadcast.People assume the control room was finally gotten into, and the bump was shut down, ending a traumatic experience no one could forget. In the last few moments as the resonating metal grew into an unbearable volume, the channel showed the peeking sun winking at the viewer, then the channel cut to Bars and Tones.
Hmmm... yep...It's fucking kino.
>>154665684How was Cartoon Network going to cover this up? No one knows their exact tactic to this day. Multiple theories have been thought of, ranging from a pre-emptive "cease and desist" to possible news articles to subliminal viewer hypnosis over the following weeks.While public evidence does not officially exist, Cartoon Network officials do acknowledge a hijacking of the channel's frequency on the day, but go into no further detail. All late morning bumps, including TDIYE, were replaced with the corresponding ones from the 1:30 AM timeslot. Word is, however, that somewhere hidden in an onion site (accessible only via Tor) is a recording of the bump played that morning.The question asked the most among the few who remember this is how Cartoon Network got the audio in the first place.
either bot thread or an actual schizo copy pasting their wordpad text file in here.
>>154665728This is an old creepypasta. Look it up and you'll find the same word for word post in the archives probably.
>>154665739that is what i was imagining.
And then all of the eyes in that bumper started cryin hyper realistic blood!!!!!
You know, there is a part of me that misses old 2010ish era creepy pasta.It's got its flaws, but its nostalgic.
>Dude, what if this creepy broadcast interstitial was secretly hiding extreme gore and sadism?Massive self-report.
>>154665682why would they try to scare children off just before the part of the channel that's actually aimed towards them starts
>>154665728>>154665739>>154665813I’ll admit, it reads like some wiki autism going on about title cards before you realize it’s even supposed to be a creepypasta. Have we all been exposed to so many schizos blasting their ramblings over the internet that the horror concept of someone driven mad by information they can’t prove doesn’t even register?
>>154665908I don't know about all that. I just recognized reading the same thing before so I realized it was fake.I read a lot of creepypasta on /x/ back when /x/ wasn't complete shit so I feel I'm desensitized to it if only because of how recognizable the tropes of creepypasta became. In terms of schizo shit the famous /x/ thread is much better at making me think it might be real. This one is too implausible. Polybius is probably the best 'spooky technology that has been covered up' story.The /x/ thread. Very entertaining 10 minute watch:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jbie8DEkzEY
>>154665908A large chunk of internet content is Schizo babble, Grifter speak and Indian/Bot talking points
>The part that they used was utilized effectively to scare off children that were still tuned in to Adult Swim.Why would they bother to scare off kids who already watched the whole fucking block?
>>154665682>>154665684>>154665696Why do people like this autism fueled babby level creepy stuff? This is like cub scout campfire stories.OoooOOOooohhhhh creepy sounds on [AS] bumper, isnt it creeeepyyyy.Come the fuck on.
"Weird unexplained death" is an underrated pasta genre
>>154665682>the hammer clinks in the "William Street" production card>nightmare fuelOh my god, why are zoomers and alphs such fucking pussies.
>>154666147Based birchposter
>>154666147Because campfire stories are fun, you blithering faggot.
nothing scares me more than the idea of a 9-5 punch in card job
>>154666338AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASPOILER THAT SHIT NEXT TIME
>>154666338If it paid $40 an hour, had good health insurance, and 4 weeks PTO + fed holidays i wouldn't mind it i think.
>>154666669yeah, but none of that exists in the modern age
>>154666681:(
>>154666681I have/had this, but the tradeoff to any job with that pay is challenging work and a permanent overtime schedule that kind of invalidates any of the PTO they offer. I’m sure there are ways people can improve their jobs, or apply for jobs that promise a better situation, it’s just a game of trial-and-error. Also, comics & cartoons.
>>154665682>We all know the sound that shook our childhoods (or teen years).
>>154666786that is a lot of words to say "yeah, it doesn't exist"
>>154666842kek
>>154665682I like the enthusiasm to create another 4chan mystery, but this feels too cliche and tame honestly. Good try though.>>154665696>The question asked the most among the few who remember this is how Cartoon Network got the audio in the first place.They made it with the magic of Audacity and stock sound effects, obviously.
>>154666246I bet the theme song to Unsolved Mysteries will make them shit themselves. Also the theme to Tales from the Dark Side, but then again, that IS some creepy shit to listen to, especially at night.
>>154665682been a while since we had stuff like this>>154666147same reason you keep being a miserable cynic
>>154665977dubs of truth
