Sadly the Ferns-Bunting Miss State letters seem like frauds
"To Bunting":
April 26th, 2013 at 12:02 PM ^
At least they used "you're" and not "your"
April 26th, 2013 at 12:03 PM ^
the second one is photoshopped - take a close look at the lettering.
Fern's letter is real though, AFAIK
April 26th, 2013 at 12:03 PM ^
You are an idiot...
April 26th, 2013 at 12:11 PM ^
He am not smrt
April 26th, 2013 at 12:30 PM ^
You mean "Your an idiot"
April 26th, 2013 at 12:31 PM ^
hes a moran
April 26th, 2013 at 12:03 PM ^
The second one looks like a photoshop of the first. Everything is literally identical except for the text. My bet is the first was real (or at least really written), and the second a photoshop.
April 26th, 2013 at 12:04 PM ^
Hold on - you really thought the second one was real? You've been had all right.
April 26th, 2013 at 12:06 PM ^
Isn't the Bunting letter an intentional joke?
I've got to neg you, son
April 26th, 2013 at 12:05 PM ^
I can't believe you thought the one to bunting was real. Are you Manti Te'o?
April 26th, 2013 at 12:05 PM ^
Lulz at you thinking the "You're Tall" letter was legit.
April 26th, 2013 at 12:12 PM ^
but but trapper keepers!
April 26th, 2013 at 12:17 PM ^
Not ancient aliens, but this guy always smiles when he talks about the destruction of Earth. Gets me everytime.
April 26th, 2013 at 12:25 PM ^
April 26th, 2013 at 12:07 PM ^
April 26th, 2013 at 12:08 PM ^
I don't know what's worse, missing the fact that the second one was a joke, or assuming that two of our recruits just decided to make some shit up.
April 26th, 2013 at 12:08 PM ^

Guys - I did some internet research of my own, and it turns out the polar bear in the Alaska Fairbanks videos DOES NOT actually fly through outerspace or shoot actual lazers into team logos. It turns out it would have to be an enormous coincidence to be able to fly through space while also being an arctic mammal.
I cracked the case guys!
April 26th, 2013 at 12:22 PM ^
NOOOOOOOO...that just CAN'T be true. I had planned to do my Ph.D. on space bear studies. I had buisness cards made up and everything.
April 26th, 2013 at 12:35 PM ^
"It's still real to me, dammit!"
April 26th, 2013 at 12:09 PM ^
My cursory glance was moreso than I thought. Carry on.
April 26th, 2013 at 12:13 PM ^
This is Horsey Surprise style trolling, right?
April 26th, 2013 at 12:16 PM ^
We don't KNOW that the Bunting fax is a fake. Ferns and Bunting might have the same fax machine, because THEY'RE THE SAME PERSON! Have you ever seen them in a room together? Huh?
This is the Michigan Difference--a critical mind.
April 26th, 2013 at 12:16 PM ^
Since neither trapper keeper is a Lisa Frank, I think they're both fake.
April 26th, 2013 at 12:17 PM ^
Richard David James (Aphex Twin) doesn't really have double D's?!?!?
April 26th, 2013 at 12:17 PM ^
This thread is D-U-M Dum

BREAKING NEWS: Lloyd Brady has not actually been in all these famous places:
April 26th, 2013 at 12:24 PM ^
Well then Lloyd Brady is a phony. A big, fat phony.
April 26th, 2013 at 12:38 PM ^
Erroneous! Erroneous! Erroneous on both accounts!
April 26th, 2013 at 12:45 PM ^
This must be especially difficult news for you to handle.
April 26th, 2013 at 12:25 PM ^
But I love this thread. So there's that.
Also, in the OP's defense, his sleuthing didn't lead to the disastrous consequences of Reddit's crimefighting, so he's A-OK in my book.
April 26th, 2013 at 12:26 PM ^
OP has a raging clue.
April 26th, 2013 at 12:29 PM ^
I couldn't think of any reason someone could possibly misconstrue what happened with those letters.... then I looked at my name.
April 26th, 2013 at 12:29 PM ^

I have a friend from Ghana. He's actually a Sultan or something over there. He's trying to leave the country but he needs YOUR help! If you send me $500, this will trigger a release of his funds to you in the amount of $1,000,000. Kindly respond with your email and I'll pass it on. (Don't want others to know how to do this)
April 26th, 2013 at 12:44 PM ^
several months ago...It's great we've found you!!!! Could you put us in touch with him? He seems to have forgotton about sending us our $Meeeeellion.
It's amazing that some people take advantage of people of the kindness of others. Now my friend looks bad becuase of your bad experience.
April 26th, 2013 at 12:32 PM ^
After further further examination, this is not a fraud. In addition to t-shirts, Ferns also sends out floor, desk and trapper keeper textures to recruits when they commit.
have a winner!
April 26th, 2013 at 12:33 PM ^
April 26th, 2013 at 12:36 PM ^
One of the most embarrassing aspects of this is that the entirety of my career can be distilled down to being patient about conclusions, skeptical of my mind, and diligent in seeking alternative explanations. At least it's Friday.

what sort of public self flagellation you'll need to employ to atone for this mess.
April 26th, 2013 at 12:41 PM ^
So we're 42 replies in, and does anybody know what trapper keeper textures are?
