This is years old but absolutely hilarious...

an extended exchange between a brain dead magat and a heroic troll. i have it bookmarked and go back to it every year or so…and even now my spouse asks “what’s so funny?”

my biggest complaint is there has been no update!!!

That is such a perfect 5/7 ... I have to wonder if the two of them were really the same person. Is anyone that stupid?

I saved it too on my old Mac Air (may he rest in peace). Thanks so much for posting it!

It belongs in the Internet Hall of Fame.

Anyone remember "we own all your belong" or something like that?

From The Daily Mail, 12/15/2015 comes this headline:
"Clever prankster fools thousands of people after creating a fake Facebook feud between a 'moron' conservative and a 'witty' liberal troll to poke fun at political tensions"
(Google headline to read entire article)

(From article)

- A user named 'Robert Graves' relentlessly baited his ultra-conservative friend, 'Brendan Sullivan,' by repeatedly knocking his offensive posts
- Their fake exchanges caused a stir on the internet because nearly everyone can relate to having an ignorant Facebook friend like 'Brenden'
- The prankster came clean about the hoax today, saying he fabricated it to make fun of the political firestorm between liberals and conservatives
