Just as I thought people couldn't get any dumber...

Are these people joking, or are they crazy?

They are the ones we've been waiting for......

I don't remember what video it was or if I read it on one of these whackjobs websites (might have been the video posted by the OP, not sure) - but in it they claimed that their proof that "so called cellular towers" are really "death towers" because "you don't need towers for cell phones to work.  Most cell phones just connect directly to a satellite."

While that would be freaking awesome if it were true.... it's obviously not.  They might want to try to talk to some of us folks who use the OSCAR satellites for ham comm.  It takes a lot more than a teeny tiny antenna with a max range of 1.5 miles to hit a satellite.  Actually, I'm not sure that they only transmit up to 1.5 miles, but if I remember correctly, cell towers are spaced 3 miles apart, so I'm guessing that means cell phones transmit 1.5 miles max.

I suppose if I really cared enough I'd go grab some of my gear and find out myself just how far my Razor transmits.

Hell, they just need to pick some out-of-the-way place out in the west, travel there, and try to use their phones.  There are whole swaths of Nevada and Oregon that have absolutely no cell phone coverage.

Come on, guys.

She's obviously severely mentally ill, probably schizophrenic.

It's pretty funny until someone you know or love starts acting this way.

We are all dealt cards in this life. That bunch just drew this one.

Oh wow.　　Any card with Shinji on it is fail.

Come on, guys.

Then the family member becomes hilarious.  I know from experience.

Not obviously, but it's definitely possible.

If that's the case, agreed.

I think this one has a fork sticking out of it with a sign on it that says DONE.
