Real True News

So where can I find a spaghetti tree?

@ApplesRock in switzerland (you know, the country between norway and finland)

We have a noodle restaurant called 국수나무(literally translated "noodle tree"), is that close enough? XD ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

@Lumoseo A South Korean. Hello! You're the first Korean I've seen before (I included North Korea in that too), what's your country like?

"This Swiss woman", he says while showing a Norwegian man. And yes, I do understand the joke, but I felt like pointing it out'

@MikoMae
That was to underscore how fake the news story was.

...and also possibly Humon was concerned some people might take the story seriously (I mean, it seems to have fooled a lot of Danish husbands, right?)

I though all Dannish are smart.. Lol..

Re: "War of the Worlds"

The thing about the mass-panic caused by the realistic-sounding radio show is... it didn't actually happen. The real hoax was on the part of the newspapers reporting on it. See, at the time, Radio was kind of a new-ish medium for news and entertainment, and the well-established newspapers were seeing drops in their profits. They wanted Radio gone, and were eager to discredit it, even convince people radio was "dangerous" and should be abolished. (Not that similar conflict didn't happen a couple decades later between radio and TV).

For a more entertaining look at that true-story than reading my plain text, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avJ_DfAQtMY

@Hinoron I think i heard of this somehwere alredy, but now i'll remember it . It reminds me of how the nowadays "old" mediums, the TV, the radio and the newspapers trying to demonize the youtube and the online content creators, because they are afraid to lose their power, viewers and money.

@csizmawarrior
I think the start of TV losing all their money and power was really when they started offering 1500 channels (though for sure streaming services kicked it the rest of the way down the stairs). It devalued all their advertising. 25 years earlier, when there were only 15 or so channels, you could buy a TV commercial slot and have a reasonable expectation that ##,000 people would see it. Buy a slot on one channel at one time now, on one of those 1500 channels, and only a small fraction of as many people will see it. It becomes much less worth it to advertise on TV at all! Advertising is the main source of TV funding, so that has been a critical problem that has even shut down some networks.

@Hinoron i see. Indeed it explainst it, when an ad block on a TV channel started we just switched channel too to another when we watched TV like 5 years ago or so. Elders still watch TV and wait the commercials so i think the advertising switched to their age as well somewhat, and it can stay alive a bit more, but TV doesn't have as much power as it had, say, 15-20 years ago.

XD that joke perfectly fits to Denmark that we know from these comics

"obviously Swiss woman", heh heh
