http://nationalreport.net/fappy-the-dolphin-arrested-for-public-masturbation/Fappy The Anti-Masturbation Dolphin seen here at Westview Elementary School in Apple Valley, Minnesota while on his 31-city nationwide anti-masturbation school tour.
Phoenix, AZ In an ironic twist of a fate, a mascot for a Christian anti-masturbation group was arrested Sunday for masturbating in public. The organization recently finished a federally funded 31-city nationwide school tour which it says focused on educating both children and parents about the dangerous consequences of masturbation.
Fappy The Anti-Masturbation Dolphin, whose real name is 35-year-old Paul Horner, was arrested on Sunday at Metta Yoga in Phoenix after employees notified police about a man with no pants on peering through office windows.
Tom Downey with the Phoenix Police Department, who took Horner into custody, spoke with Arizona news station ABC 15 about the arrest. We thought at first he was possibly intoxicated or mentally unstable, ya know, talking about children and how deadly it is for them to masturbate. Telling us he was in town with a Christian organization aimed at talking with children about the dangers of masturbation. Saying things like, They need to stop playing on the Devils playground, stop pounding their Devil stick or ringing the Devils doorbell, Downey said. Things got very odd when Horner broke down crying in the back of my cruiser and began making noises, kind of like a fish, saying that he believed himself to be an actual dolphin. It was really strange.

(2,322 posts)Or Benedict Cumberbatch? Googie Withers? Imogen Poots? Those all sound like they're jokes and can't possible be real, don't they?
But they are. So why is "Flappy," a cartoonish-character for kids, such a dead giveaway?
eggplant
(3,915 posts)Moonwalk
(2,322 posts)Just how common a term is it and among what groups and ages? Because if anyone is outside of that, then, no, sorry, it's not a dead giveaway. Also, do we forget that the Tea Party originally called themselves "Tea Baggers" who were "tea-bagging" before it was pointed out to them what it meant? So, you're saying to me that I should have known right away that it was a fake story because no one would ever accidentally name their dolphin-mascot something that is also a sexual slang term? Try telling that to the Brits who saw "Free Willy."
eggplant
(3,915 posts)Slang is tough when you aren't in the given demographic to know what it means.
As far as fapping is concerned, it was funny specifically because he was supposed to be an anti-fapping mascot. And if it rally was true, and they really had named him that, then it would just show how clueless they were in trying to spread their message.
I also agree that the site itself is really quite good at looking real. You have to watch the headlines scroll across the top for a bit just to be sure -- particularly in our given alternate universe these days. If someone had told me ten years ago that heavily armed assholes would be storming the local fast food joint and that they would all be legally justified in shooting each other, I would have said you were nuts. But nope, welcome to 2014.

The ENTIRE Fappy put-on is very well done. Have you seen his tour date schedule?

I mean, can you imagine the priceless telephone calls that may have gone to that line?

Hollywood, CA Controversial filmmaker Michael Moore held a press conference to announce his new upcoming documentary that is being released in December simply titled "Fappy".
Moore talked with reporters and explained briefly what the documentary is about. "The story follows a religious anti-masturbation organization who travels around the country preaching to school children about the harmful effects of masturbation," Moore said. "They have a mascot who dresses in a dolphin costume that goes by the name of Fappy The Anti-Masturbation Dolphin. Fappy® along with his assistants visit various elementary schools
