Something about "His power level, It's over NINE THOUSAND!!!!!"
Some meme on 4chan, apparently a quote from DragonBallZ.

TV personalities generally don't have a clue about any of this stuff, so folks like the honorable scum at 4chan like to partake in epic trolling like this - "this" being that someone was able to get his quote mentioned on the air by Oprah.

Oprah didn't mention anything about "power levels" .... once again I'm 😕

*sigh* Some 4chan person posted on the Oprah message board that he's touched over 9000 penises. The video called 'Over 9000' spawned an internet meme; I got it instantly and it's incredibly rude of that person, but it's also hilarious (and Oprah got pwned).

Edit: They also said they're a part of a large known pedophile network..and 4chan is surely that.

Further, this email was in response to a recent show she did about internet pedophiles. I think it was only 2 or 3 shows prior to this. She opens this show with somewhat unplanned message, mentioning that her inbox was "deluged" with vile and vulgar messages. (out of the gutter, gents 😉)

This one about "we have 9000 penises ready to go" is the one she read. Frankly, I didn't know the reference to 9000, but it smelled of internet tomfoolery to me. only 5 minutes ago do I get this confirmation on this thread.

....I wonder if 4Chan dipshits realize that The Oprah is a significantly more substantial target than is Souljaboy?

They're going to get fucked.

What are they going to get "fucked" about?

From my knowledge of the law, sending Oprah an e-mail isn't a crime.

it's the possibility of their prank evolving into something more serious than their intent.

It's fine if they want to point out the lunacy of the media, as they have done before. I've never disagreed with that in this thread.

I don't know why you guys keep repeating this when it really isn't my point.

So..what happens when their hoax has inspired an indefinite number of individuals who take this issue seriously? They flex their power to do something about it, but their crusade is undermined by all of this being a hoax.

My point, is that they just might have to deal with pissing these people off. /b/ seems to have picked the wrong issue, to which many people are sensitive (whether or not you attribute it to media-driven paranoia, or the simple fact that there really is a problem), for this angle of their crusade.

Hey, I give them credit for the Sarah Palin thing. Any sprinkling of competency I saw in her has been completely revoked.

😛

obama cowardly standing by reverend wright for all those years revoked any idea that he was competent with me. and he's not running as vp😛

At least he knew not to conduct business relying on the security of Yahoo mail.
