In my opinion, this prank is very intricate and took a lot of effort while not actually proving the point that "history is meaningless on the internet" because the subject matter - the Street Sharks - are/were essentially forgotten by history itself. Sometimes things just naturally slide away and nobody cares. It's like, "What year did the black Power Ranger turn good?" or "What was the top selling Rock band in the years 1975-1983?" and then making up an answer because, well, it's not really pertinent stuff. There are much better cons online, I like to think...edit...even if this is some kind of meta-joke where it turns out all the fake parts are being faked...sigh...
- fearandclothing 10y agoWell, if the author's intent was some sort of meta-joke about hot "everyone reports on everyone else’s reporting," it seems to be working, as other sources are reporting on it: http://screencrush.com/street-sharks-hoax/ http://screencrush.com/street-sharks-hoax/ http://www.vox.com/2016/5/27/11788884/street-sharks-hoax http://www.vox.com/2016/5/27/11788884/street-sharks-hoax http://www.avclub.com/article/read-utterly-fraudulent-alternate-history-street-s-237396 http://www.avclub.com/article/read-utterly-fraudulent-altern... http://gawker.com/everything-i-ever-thought-i-knew-about-street-sharks-wa-1778991889 http://gawker.com/everything-i-ever-thought-i-knew-about-str...
- justinlardinois 10y ago> "What year did the black Power Ranger turn good?" Was the black power ranger ever bad? I recall the green ranger going bad, then later returning, reformed, as the white ranger. Or was mixing up the colors intentional to further your point?
- 6stringmerc 10y agoHonestly I don't really remember and was just trying to throw out a subjective memory example. Black, Green, whatever. If it helped make my point I can say it was unintentional!
- Klinky 10y agoThe episode was Season 5 Episode 14 "Once You Go Black, You Never Go Back". In the season finale, Zack absorbs Rita's evil power crystal and turns on the Power Rangers and Angel Grove. Zordon informs the Power Rangers of a secret cave containing the reversal crystal, but Rita and her Octopig monster have other plans. Can the Power Rangers morph in time to save Zack and Angel Grove?
- smellf 10y ago> "Once You Go Black, You Never Go Back" I lol'd. Too over the top though.
