Geez guys. The person who made the prank asked for people not to post that it was them who did it. No one said you can't post anything about it. You guys sound like Daily Mail readers complaining about political correctness.

 

I based it on the fact that all posts containing the links have been editied by mods, and I dont' believe it said 'removed by request' so you can't blame me for thinking the mods didnt' like it to be posted :p

 

an easier solution would have been to just delete the image if you don't want it to be on the interwebz

Oh I didn't see the purge of all the links before. I think that was a bit of damage control. It's easier to deal with being accused of censorship than dealing with the more precocious members of this board laying into the more susceptible members for believing the story, at least that way only the mod team gets flamed, not users who simply don't know better.

All the ones I edited had "link removed by request" in the edit section.

Indeed. And there were multiple pages of comments on the fake story, and it was an effort to put out a fire before it spread. Obviously it didn't work. :LOL:

 

It would have been more funny if NME had thought it was true.

 

I'm surprised they didn't. :chuckle:
