There is no trap. First, there was no intent to deceive anyone, which is a required element for fraud. Second, The fact that FBN is a gag should be intuitively obvious to even the most casual observer. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that a outfit with a B-52 that touts a Y2K Assault vehicle as one of its products and a Papal blessing is a satire. Couple that with the day it was launched and there you have it.

Besides, I have found that practically everyone who posts on SI has sufficient intelligence to identify a gag when they see one.

You're barking up the wrong tree.

I suppose you went after Orson Welles after War of the Worlds too.

Helllooooo. Is anybody there???? That is what the "FBN gang" has been saying. That don't make it so....but now you post -

'You said it in sentence number two. That's where you're trapped."

I believe that refers back to a post about 'saying something don't make it so.' Fish or bait...either we take everything literally or we take responsibility for making our own decisions about what we read. What's it going to be?
