A bunch of people saw an A-list celebrity do a publicity stunt and wanted to have fun with it. As far as the "Nazis!" claim goes you need to be able to read between the lines if you want to read an imageboard as trollish as 4chan.

I would wager most people would think these are bots, especially when photos are used. Internet users are a little too accustomed to stock photos of happy company employees gathering and customer support smiling for the camera. Then they wa

What if an internet service provider sells Internet subscriptions that are not backed by real bandwidth. If enough customers want to stream video the ISP will not be able to provide enough bandwidth for them. Would you call that fraud?

Now we just need to figure out who pays for those upgrades. I think we could try a scheme where we keep growing the user base so more recent customers pay for the prior customers' upgrades. Hmm, wait a minute...
