Farhan; Lain; 4chan

So, I got Farhan to post in 4chan today. He posted a thread about Lain’s 10th anniversary. It all seemed okay, until suddenly out of nowhere:

“who is forhuh menan?”

Coincidence? Yes. Scary? Yes. The thread then went on to talk about Farhan. Farhan was scared. I posted a bit, but predictably, nobody believed that it was me.

It turns out that they had all known about him from over a year ago, when he had his old blog, canyouhearme.  Scary. They seem to think of him as something of an expert on Lain, or at least as someone who understands lain. Some quotes that I’d like to save:

“he some england hacke who actuly undersans lain an he is plan to take over shibuya crossin screen an put lain on like in anime he got fren in jap cos they liv ner his hus he clos his blog tho”

First scary thing.

“He’s talking about DisInformaticians or whatever. It was on here before, remember? We used it in TigRai?”

Showed that it had been here before.

“he is the one who is computer sciencest, not hake he doesn’t know how to do that! but he could probably work it out. he is just a person ignore it we must make planes to meet up and have sex lain”

“You fucking liar. His CanYouHearMe WordPress has been down for about a year.“

This means it’s been known for a long, long time… scary.

“your the dumb one its disinformatics.com/blog/tag/serial-experiments-lain/

what kind of fucking lain watcher are you you dont even know that

fuck you”

Is he some sort of expert? I don’t really understand what’s going on.

“Because he’s FM, the Great Explainer…”

“Ahhhm let me see there, oh yeah, #lain I.R.C. room, and mailing lists, and google, and friends in amine clubs… … …….. your not very good at this”

Farhan didn’t believe me when I said it was the #lain IRC. Told you so.

“i heard F was going to an hero becaus his grammy was a bitch but then he realised that was dumb so he became really good at math and computer ICT IT studies..”

“no i heard his mom took all his computers awayand he had to have a brain surgery because he was born in a mental instertution”

“thats a lie he always uses capital letters hav u even LOOKED AT HIS BLOG U LAIR”

“You guys aren’t so smart in your brains now are you. The only thing as good as LAIN is DISINFORMATICS and DISINFORMATICS.COM/LAIN.HTML (if that dosent work try LAIN.HTM and LAIN.XHTML becus i know that F likes XHTML becus its better becus he likes it)

F is gon to CAMBRIDGE or EMPERIAL COLLEGE and he is getting a DOUBLE STARRED FIRST in COMPUTER SCIENCES and MATH. He is NOT A NERD”

“don’t EVER comper mike sandy to F. tehy say anonymos is not your personel army.. … … becos it belongs to F.”

“No, did you see his post? He thought protestfags were part of Anon.”

The post being referred to was deleted shortly after being made. This means that someone has his blog on their RSS. Famous Farhan is Famous.

All I can say is: wow.
