Well, who the hell was he?This is the closest thing we're going to have to a Joker moment in real life, and he was never found out.
>>215531626I’m still surprised nobody confessed to this
>>215531626It wasn't a human behind that mask
>>215531626FREAKIN LIBEEERAAALLLLLL
>>215531672it would have been a federal offence
I JUST MADE A GIANT MASTERPIECE FOR ALL THE GREATEST WORLD NEWSPAPER NERDS
>>215531626He told you who he was. You didn’t listen.
>>215531672It would lose all legend if the actual dude came out and said he did it.It would be interesting to hear the backstory and stuff but then no one would really give a shit again
>>215531626Early 2000s forums totally did find him out. There were basically two guys in proximity to that tower with the knowledge and capability to do it. One had a toilet sense of humor that would fit with the video. Surprise, it was one of them.
people always talk like this was a relatively easy thing to get away with back in the day. If that's the case, why aren't there any other famous signal hijackings?
If its not a glowie itll be a miracle
I like how people try to make this hijack seem creepy when it's literally a guy in a Max Headroom mask calling people liberal nerds, humming the Clutch Cargo theme, throwing a can of pepsi and getting spanked by a girl.
>>215531626this is a really good astonishing legends episode
>>215533255There were quite a few in Britain. One guy even said he was an alien delivering a message to mankind.
>>215531626I recall Max Headroom from the wanking days
>>215533242Source?
>>215531626It was me
>>215533288Ep number or name?
Bend over, bitch.
>>215533277Not creepy, its interesting.Somebody beamed their shitpost onto television
>>215533157I should have sat down, and listened. Which is what nobody else did.
>>215533334The “hack brothers” theory it is called. There were two nerdy brothers who lived like a half mile from the tower, were into early phreaking and whatnot, talked about doing something like this, one had worked for WGN at some point, and the shit in the video is exactly what their friends said they would do. Now I’m no Sheriff Chitwood, but I’m pretty sure those are the culprits.
Imagine watching kino on TV and this guy hijacks it and says "he's a frickin nerd" and you're powerless to appose his accusation. Thats why he's feared.
>>215531626Supposedly.there was a college.nearby that would have had the equipment to do the job.and students with the know how. My question is was it an inside job from a current or former employee or some crazy kids?
>>215531626>Something something I'm a cosplayer of an obscure parody character and I'm here to babble incoherently about muh corporations but a decade before it becomes truly mainstreamImagine if he had actually had something to say.
>>215533555Imagine if you had listened. And that's what no one else did.
>>215533485That's what you get for watching Doctor Who.
>>215533583He IS a fuckin nerd
>>215533555>>215533579you should have listenedhe's saying "don't drink pepsi or you're a nerd"
>>215533277it's more weird than anything, but i'd be a bit spooked if i was watching doctor who at 11 pm and had to see that out of nowhere.the first hijacking that was completely silent because they couldn't get the audio to transmit was a bit spookier and that's the one more people tuned into
>>215533621Agreed on all points.Did he cut the feed after the spanking or did whoever was working manage to take it back? Was there more footage that we never saw?
>>215533555That was the best gen X could come up with. Nobody even began to articulate the situation until the last 10 or so ears.
>>215533555>frickin liberal continues to be a nerdHe tried to save you
>>215531626It doesn't matter who we areWhat matters is our plan
>>2155332772spooky4me tbqh
>>215533277> I like how people try to make this hijack seem creepy when it's literally a guy in a Max Headroom mask calling people liberal nerds, humming the Clutch Cargo theme, throwing a can of pepsi and getting spanked by a girl.He’s literally me
>>215533892This is a good point, people need to see that Gen X is more of a formation generation that a pioneering gen. All the conspiracy theories were popularized by Boomers and X but people don't realize how much of this crap was completely unknown in the 80s and 90s.Millennials then go into them and start stuff like Conspiracy Icebergs and info about everything, secret societies and Jews and all that. It took Gen X youths to become the Marxists and socialists and punks and start zines that disseminated information across BBS's the internet and blogs.My personal feeling about everything is that Gen X walked so Millennials could run.
>>215535009my theory is there just has to be a "first person" to discover stuff and its irrelevant who they are. maybe the ideas are just latent (in "logos" space or whatever, Idk)
>>215535154Well obviously there has to be a "thing" to discover. If something is happening someone needs to notice it or give voice to it. This was the domain of artists to a large extent. Making representations of inarticulated ideas. As for whoever first began writing intelligently about the problems with our situation, as opposed to Noam Chomsky fake bloviating or Max Headroom or whatever passed as criticism before, I don't know.
