[edit] Moar Ridiculous.
Nice advertisment to attract terrorists and FBI to an innocent website, I see pixels in that screenshot, is this some kind of vendetta? You'll be hearing from my internet lawyer.
OBJECTION! ARE YOU A TRAINED PIXEL LOOKER? I THINK NOT!
[edit] Ridiculous.
Yeah, of course no one is going to make any references about this originating from 4chan. I don't really believe in vandalizing Wikipedia, but you wiki admins, and indeed a lot of other websites, seem to have some kind of bias against giving us credit or recognition for anything.
This fake terrorist rant DID originate on 4chan.

It did, and they've removed actual bits of the article.
[edit] Request lock
How do you request a lock on this page for new and unregistered users? Klosterdev 12:52, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Minor Change
Jake Brahm did not turn himself in. He was turned in by a coworker after telling him that he wrote the story.
- Do you have a source for this? As far as I know, this was a rumour on 4chan. I think we should post the posts on 4chan that reacted to the story. Like about the "partyvan" and junk.--72.38.204.116 03:11, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
But I recall reading an article that said that he was first reported to Wauwatosa Police by someone he had bragged to. But, yes, he did actually turn himself in once he found out that the FBI were looking for him. But the FBI did not trace him through the Internet--rather it seems there was that anonymous tip to the police and then they connected the dots. But I think we should mention the 4chan reaction, and the partyvan thing.--Waitingforgodard 06:43, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- I also think that we should cite more sources than the media on this one. They're a proven unreliable source of information that censors bits and pieces out of the story. Like what "copypasta" and "4chan" are and the entire role of Internet subculture in the story. Since that plays a vital role in the arrest, some say even - that this was done to run fear down the spines of users all over the Internet of the FBI and the government and that they really aren't anonymous. A joke is a joke, these prudent jocks that run the media can't own up to that.--72.38.204.116 07:59, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
The whole goddamn mess is a joke. Everyone who doesn't use the internet regularly is freaking out, and everyone who uses the internet regularly is having a great laughfest because of it. And yet they can't report everything truthfully because 1. 4chan is an "adult site", and everyone knows that you can't report ANYTHING adult on the news, and 2. it's embarassing for them to admit that they were complete retards and overreacting. -Kintakus 11:35, 22 October 2006 (UTC) Well, there are many problems with sourcing. The media reports are largely incorrect. I can't source a lot of the biographical stuff largely because it's not stated anywhere--it's stuff I know because I've known Jake for 8 years. Nearly everything Jake has online is fictitious or a joke. This is the problem: it's only thing the media has access to, and they don't realize that it's mostly said in jest. Which brings us to important points we need to strength: 1. That this case is representative of the gap between the Internet culture and the mainstream. 2. That this isn't really a "hoax," as Brahm never intended to trick or threaten anyone and that the reposting is a subcultural phenomenon. But this must be stated in a neutral way. --Waitingforgodard 01:07, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Libelous Statements
It's obvious that nearly everyone contributing to this entry supports Jake and feels the incident has been over-sensationalized by the media. But we must remain neutral--Wikipedia is an encyclopdia and not a forum. Our job is to make sure people are exposed to correct information and not to defame or attack anyone, even if it is the media. Hence, I have reworded the bit about him phoning in the hoax as being a "common misconception" rather than "libel spread to the media." The media, after all, has never made the statement--rather, their lack of clarity has caused others (including bloggers) to come to that conculsion. --Waitingforgodard 02:34, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
