The video of the riots at that university up there, the ones Stanford beats which starts with a B, could be used to make a terrific fake news story. Even if we put a commentary up front in the video explaining it is a gag, an Orson Wells-style dramatization, it could be a lotta fun and draw in rubes.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We take the video of the B riots, cut pieces of it, take the sound behind it, get several volunteers, get a couple of them to dress in black. Get some college-age guys to play attendees at that educational institution whose name escapes me. Have the whole crew go out into the quad at night, stage it to look like an arsonist fled and the guys grabbed her (so you would only need about 6 total actors). Have the three or four actors grab a couple of the black-clad actors, ideally those who have no internet presence. Have the guys unmask the arsonists with riot noise playing in the background, extracted from the actual riot. Have them demand their identities. They give false names, but then have the guys find they are carrying wallets with matching photo ID. They say HEY! This one’s name is Susie May Rottencrotch!

Rottencrotch turns out to have FaceBook pages revealing she is a Brietbart follower and Schlabotnik is an activist from Commies on Campus. Both pages are fake of course, which is part of the gag, but we aren’t trying to fool anyone, for the video itself had a leader saying it was all in fun.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>spike<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
