Florida... No. Just no.

This has got to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Want to cause widespread panic in Florida? Use a big word. What a bunch of fucking idiots. That fact that these guys could face criminal charges for playing a harmless joke on people who are juuuuuuuuust smart enough to keep breathing whilst sleeping is absurd.

Florida DJs May Face Felony for April Fools' Water Joke Worse Than Rubio's

Florida country radio morning-show hosts Val St. John and Scott Fish are currently serving indefinite suspensions and possibly worse over a successful April Fools' Day prank. They told their listeners that "dihydrogen monoxide" was coming out of the taps throughout the Fort Myers area. Dihydrogen monoxide is water.

The popular deejays are mainly in all this trouble (potentially of a felony level) because their listeners panicked so much — about the molecular makeup of their drinking water, however unwittingly — that Lee County utility officials had to issue a county-wide statement calming the fears of chemistry challenged Floridians.

Florida, you embarass the entire country on a near-daily basis. Between the bath salts, Jeb Bush and idiocy being protected by law now, you guys are really par for the idiocracy course. I think Florida may have gangrene, and we should probably just amputate it.

oh shit. I know someone who lives in that area. I hope they know not to turn on their tap until the problem gets fixed
 
I don't even understand how they could possibly be facing criminal charges for that. It's not their fault people are so fucking uneducated they decided to panic without even doing a quick Google search, or, better yet, actually KNOWING what the fuck H2O is. I hate stupid people.
 
Yeah... this must be the first time a disc jokey has ever gotten in trouble for saying something on the air!

They're not going to be found guilty of anything because they'll be protected under freedom of speech. Cases like this have been going on since the 80s and probably longer than that. They might be fired depending on how pussy the station is to the sensitive and stupid audience but that's all. Not a big deal guys, move along.
 
I thought the same thing so I looked it up and they're hanging their hat on a law that says it's illegal to create a false scare or panic about water supply, similar to yelilng "Bomb" in a crowded airport or something... But it isn't false, that shit is pouring out of every faucet on the planet hahahaha they're just idiots.

 
Well what is fl mostly made up with?

1 Old people they freak out over everything.

2 redneck they freak out because they dont understand anything.
 
You forgot mexicans, puerto ricans, cubans, and brazilians, in Miami. Don't forget the douchebags in Orlando and then everyone else is either drinking pinocolatas on the beach or smoking a blunt on their couch.
 
I'm still confused how they got suspended for telling people the exact truth, that water was coming out of their taps? Is their radio station that dumb too?
 
I wonder if the schools will adopt this newfound insistence on dumbing shit down too. Will this scary chemistry term be banned forever? How about all unnecessarily long and scary words? One really ends up pondering how deep the stupidwell really is, and where it would stop if this type of logic was actually applied. It seriously blows my mind to think of how stupid people really are, yet they have survived this long. How have they not ingested something poisonous or gotten on an offramp or something?

In any event, when they find out that they got joked on most people would facepalm and chuckle it off. Only a Floridian would say "Someone should lose their job for making me realize just how stupid I am."
 
Again, you're severely overreacting... although that seems to be the new trend now. Overreact to EVERYTHING!

There's a difference between being CHARGED and being CONVICTED. This is a prime example of how susceptible kids are to sensationalized news.
 
I sent the article to my chem teacher. haha he laughed his ass off at all the stupid people who never took chemistry
 
Anyone else read this? Hahahahaha

Update 4:36 p.m. Eastern: We noticed that the station seems to be enjoying this controversy, despite the very real concerns expressed to the Lee County utility. There's a poll on the Gator Country website asking when the two DJs should return to air, with (at the time we viewed the results) 78 percent of those voting "never."
 
I'm not a kid dumbass and this isn't a prime example of anything except you being a fat pasty douchebag that will always seek first to label someone and thus place yourself on some kind of personally-appointed yet wholly undeserved pedestal rather than step back, wipe the douchewater from your eyes and actually attempt to understand what someone is saying.

If I want advice on how to plow cream-filled pastries into my face faster, avoid sunlight more effectively or build my entire pathetic life around the internet, I'll call you mmmkay?
 
I'm only 50 lbs. overweight which isn't bad for someone that's 5'3", I only enjoy pastries in the morning and at night and they're called COMMAS YOU STUPID FUCKING KID.

Way to contribute nothing to your own thread. Maybe when you hit puberty you'll have something of value to add other than pointers on how to get a pet dog to suck you off.
 
Oh c'mon. This thread wasn't about a cure for cancer. Implying that there was something of substance that was to come of it via "real contributions" really is pretty rediculous. I know you like to trot around on your high horse but c'mon dude, shut the fuck up already.

Oh, and btw I'm fuckin' three decades deep up in this bitch. I am a fossil on this site. Blow me were the pampers is, cocksucker.
 
I believe to my best instincts, you are a shortarse. Anyone know if Simon or HH is taller than this internet man?
 
whoa whoa whoa this dihydrogen monoxide is some dangerous stuff. check this out

-abuse of dihydrogen monoxide can cause death

-inhalation of dihydrogen monoxide can cause death

-dihydrogen monoxide is the cause of a large portion of the worlds erosion

-dihydrogen monoxide in it's solid state falling from the sky can cause millions of dollars in damage

-dihydrogen monoxide in is gaseous state can cause burns and can cause explosions if under too much pressure.

-dihydrogen monoxide is a greenhouse gas

-dihydrogen monoxide comes out of the tail pipes of cars.

-dihydrogen monoxide is the leading substance abused by athletes everywhere.

the list goes on and one. this is some dangerous stuff.
 
i think everybody is taller than this little pussy. even simon and henrik arent that short...

also "only 50 lbs overweight which isnt that bad"?. sorry bro but being over weight at all is bad, let alone if you are 50 lbs over at 5'3. thats like a a third of your total recommended weight
 
yeah ok. coming from the fat fuck ginger basement dweller that still probably lives with his parents and spends his days on a skiing website trying to think that he is somehow, someway, superior to people on the internet. because in real life, nobody gives a shit about you and you are the scum of society
 
Also, I loved seeing Matt tear skiierman to shreds right there. Just saying - this thread has entered 'sit down and enjoy the trainwreck' mode.
 
Its funny because thats technically not a prank or a joke. People going to jail for telling the blatant truth is hilarious.
 
OMG!!! I'm like totally cutting my wrists right now because of what you, some stupid little kid, posted about me! Bro, I'm not fat, I got dense bones and a solid, Tongan body. It's cool if you're jealous of me because many people are.

 
its just frustrating to most that this whole situation even had to happen just because of how fucking incredibly stupid and oblivious a general group of american public can be. no offense to americans on here, im not trying to generalize. but in this case it actually cant be avoided haha

dem people are fucking DUMB
 
lol, ft. myers is my hometown and it is a terrible, terrible place. it's where old people go to die and where the most unintelligent people go to reproduce. fuck florida.
 
There's a caustic substance common to our environment whose very presence turns iron into brittle rust, dramatically increases the risk of fire and explosion, and sometimes destroys the cells of the very organisms that depend on it for survival. This substance makes up a sizable chunk of our atmosphere and you are breathing it in right now.
