Flaming Guantlet Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 "This just in. CNN finally discovers leetspeek. Rest of world laughs at CNN." Quote
Dangaioh Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Gees, it took CNN to call in a radio personality to do one of their commentaries... I actually listen to her radio show now that Call for Help and Screensaver is not on anymore... hell now that TechTV is trully gone. But, check this out: http://www.jayssite.com/stuff/l33t/l33t_translator.html Quote
Commander McBride Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 MSN had a similar article a while back, it was absolutely hilarious. They were talking about online gaming, and warning parents about "griefers", roving bands of bad players who go around creating havoc in servers. Of course, anyone who really plays online games knows that Smacktards are very rarely organized to such a degree... Quote
Mr March Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 It's really funny when the rest of the world clues into internet culture that we take for granted. Gawd, I feel like everyone is a decade behind when I see this stuff. Quote
Prime Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 It's really funny when the rest of the world clues into internet culture that we take for granted. Gawd, I feel like everyone is a decade behind when I see this stuff. Definitely. Next they will discover that porn is transfered over the Internet. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Definitely. Next they will discover that porn is transfered over the Internet. NO! What the hell am I doing here?! Quote

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 (edited) OMG parents beware! Your kids are computer hackers trying to steal your credit card details! They've been encrypting thier messages all along. What will we do? Alarmed parent: "Lets start a campaign to ban the internet. It ruins thier spelling, makes them into cyber criminals, perverts thier innocent minds, and there is no control." Welcome to last decade. By the time the parents have discovered thier kids secret, the kids are now adults and are still using the hackerspeak. Given how long it took for them to figure this out, it shows how little attention parents pay to thier kids. Edited April 27, 2005 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker Quote

Pat Payne Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 I remember people were using Hacker Cyrillic when I was in high school...and that's closing in on ten years ago now! Quote
Jemstone Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 That is funny and also very sad. I had to check the article's date to make sure. Makes me wonder what kind of people they have working at CNN to just be getting this..... What's the next article on.... the use of slang? Quote
Blaine23 Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 It just reminds me of the Newsradio where Phil Hartman tried to learn ebonics and was instead given words of nonsense by his assistant. "Gazizza, my brothers! Rocket Fuel... damn." Quote
JKeats Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 It's pretty sad to think about that "journalists" like that are so out of touch with society. Quote
Mechamaniac Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 (edited) It just reminds me of the Newsradio where Phil Hartman tried to learn ebonics and was instead given words of nonsense by his assistant."Gazizza, my brothers! Rocket Fuel... damn." That reminds me of the episode of Frasier where he gave his son's Bar Mitzvah speech in Klingon.. Edited April 27, 2005 by Mechamaniac Quote

Father Jack Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 If you're a parent, pay attention to the following list. These words can point to illegal activities or indicate your child is a bully: Curses now my parents will know all about the warez i've been trading for pron Quote
