The Story Of The Totalfarker In Memphis Media

I am finding myself very interested in this story.

Fark, of course, is not a blog, it’s just, well, Fark. (You should read the comments on this story. Highly entertaining.)

But the whole story about mainstream media using Fark/online media (although Fark is mainly tongue-in-cheek on news stories from around the globe) doesn’t surprise me although according to Mediaverse, there isn’t any indication that Darrell Philips was working with his employer, WHBQ Fox13 out of Memphis.

I think the Memphis folks are probably watching this closely. They tend not to miss a beat.

The other thing that I found to be very interesting is about the way that media needs to recognize there isn’t any transparency about your actions in the world of ISP numbers.

According to Mediaverse, this story is still developing.

I couldn’t hack a coke machine, so all of this is intriguing to me.
