OMG! You have GOT to see this!

[Dino]

Holy shit, I didn't know that Americans could be this stupid. Either that or I just got a prank caller.

Nuttbrain: Hi, How are you?
Dino: who are you?
Nuttbrain: My name is Rachel.
Dino: um, ok
Nuttbrain: How old are you?
Dino: what business is that of yours?
Nuttbrain: I just wondered!!!
Dino: well forgive me for being a little curious when someone I don't know messages me from out of the blue
Nuttbrain: Sorry
Dino: I am 21
Nuttbrain: I am 17.
Dino: right
Dino: do I know you?
Nuttbrain: I don't know!
Dino: well, why are you messaging me?
Nuttbrain: I don't know!
Dino: your screen name is highly appropriate
Nuttbrain: What do you mean?
Dino: you seem to know nothing
Nuttbrain: your rude!
Dino: no I'm not
Nuttbrain: Why did you say that then?
Dino: and that's a contraction, you're not your
Nuttbrain: whatever
Dino: right can I just be clear on what's going on here?
Dino: because I'm slightly confused
Dino: see I have a lot of people on my buddy list and I can't keep track of them all
Dino: you're Rachel, you're 17, and you're from...?
Nuttbrain: Carl Junction, MO
Nuttbrain: And you are from...?
Dino: MO that's ... missouri?
Nuttbrain: Dah!!!
Dino: right
Nuttbrain: where are you from?
Dino: I hail from the United Kingdom
Nuttbrain: Hello?
Nuttbrain: Is that in London?
Dino: o_0
Dino: you yanks crack me up
Dino: London is in United Kingdom, not vice versa
Nuttbrain: Sorry!
Dino: no need to apologise, geography isn't an interesting subject, especially when it involves the country that your ancestors came from
Nuttbrain: I have a friend that lives in the UK.
Dino: really?
Nuttbrain: yes!
Dino: I'm guessing he lives in London
Nuttbrain: Yes
Dino: uncanny
Nuttbrain: What?
Dino: my guess was correct
Nuttbrain: Yes
Nuttbrain: Are you still there?
Dino: so... "Rachel"... where in Missouri would I find you? That's a big old state you got there..
Nuttbrain: Hello?
Nuttbrain: I live in Carl Junction.
Dino: yes I'm afraid I have absolutely no idea where that is [a blatant lie]
Dino: you'll have to be more specific, like what's your nearest city?
Dino: don't worry, I'm not trying to stalk you, I can't afford the plane ticket
Nuttbrain: I don't know!
Dino: you don't know what your nearest city is?
Nuttbrain: no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dino: well that's rather interesting
Nuttbrain: I know! LOL
Dino: I take it you're in a fairly remote location?
Nuttbrain: What does that mean?
Dino: it's a joke
Dino: are you aware that Carl Junction is a city?
Nuttbrain: Ha Ha Ha [wtf?]
Nuttbrain: yes!!
Dino: so why didn't you say "carl junction" when I asked you what your nearest city was?
Nuttbrain: I don't know!!
Dino: I suspected you would say that
Nuttbrain: I know
Dino: well there's a revelation
Nuttbrain: what do you mean?
Dino: nevermind, look, is there a reason you're messaging me? like... something you wanted or, maybe you're just looking for a chat?
Dino: I'd be a whole lot less suspicious if you would just tell me why you're messaging me
Nuttbrain: just looking for a chat
Dino: right
Nuttbrain: So, what is your name?
Dino: You can call me Dino
Nuttbrain: what?
Dino: uh
Dino: ... is there some kind of problem with that?
Nuttbrain: No!
Dino: right, right
Nuttbrain: I just wondered if that was a nickname?
Dino: yes it is
Dino: I don't give out my real name over the internet
Nuttbrain: What is your real name?
Dino: you're kidding me right?
Dino: I said I don't give out my real name over the internet
Nuttbrain: yes! LOL!!!
Dino: hey, have you heard of a place called "Kansas City"?
Nuttbrain: Yes!!!
Dino: That's magnificent um, Rachel, are you by any chance a prank caller?
Nuttbrain: what?
Diode Opinions: well, are you?
Nuttbrain: No!!
Dino: I find that very hard to believe
Nuttbrain: why?
Dino: well
Nuttbrain: well
Dino: you know all the cities in your state
Dino: but you don't know which one is closes to you
Nuttbrain: No!!!
Dino: you think that the United Kingdom is inside London, yet you claim to know someone from the United Kingdom
Nuttbrain: yes, I was just confused.
Dino: and you expect me to believe that?
Nuttbrain: Yes, just hear me out!
Dino: fine, this should be interesting
Nuttbrain: This guy from London stayed with us the past six weeks, his name is Huw Morris.
Dino: and that explains why you thought the United Kingdom was a place in London?
Nuttbrain: No, but he said he lived in the UK all the time, but he lived in London!
Nuttbrain: So I just say the UK.
Dino: ok that's partially believable
Nuttbrain: what else do you want to know?
Nuttbrain: Hello?
Dino: yes I'm still here I'm just thinking
Nuttbrain: about what?
Dino: what your game is
Nuttbrain: what do you mean?
Nuttbrain: Hello?
Dino: you're not very patient are you?
Nuttbrain: Nope!
Nuttbrain: Are you still there?
Nuttbrain: Hello?
Dino: right well I've made up my mind - you are most definately a prank caller. So you've got two options here, you can either admit it and then go away, or deny it and end up on block. Either way I'm going to publish this chat, and I'll be honest with you "nuttbrain", if you truely aren't a prank caller, then you need to get yourself to school and get yourself educated, because you are seriously ignorant
Dino: the choice, as they say, is yours
Nuttbrain: I am not a prank, but I have to go now
Dino: yes I'd say you do

Seriously... what the hell? o_0

[sligster]

Prank Caller most likely, although I have met people that are actually like this.... many of em...

I didn't know that Americans could be this stupid

Amazing, aint it? You're lucky you don't live here, I'd move to UK any day just for the intelligence and maturity -_-

[Havoc]

Sounds to me like you have been chatting to a bot :P

[Dino]

Sounds to me like you have been chatting to a bot :P

As rediculous as that suggestion is, the answers she gave were so stupid that it might as well have been.

I can't believe she actually asked me whether the United Kingdom was in London.

[Rex Tirano]

I have actually met a person like this over the internet. Funnily enough from this forum [but let's not name names].

Although, from the name and just from what she/he was saying, it sounds like a pranker. If not... My god.

[used:)]

Internet skanks sometimes IM me, and they sound like real idiots.

[Majic]

I'd wager prank. My friends and I have done shizzle like that before. After all, no amount of social passing could send on a student who didn't understand basic political geography.

[TheRaisin]

I'm guessing she (question mark) is for real. People like that do exist, and what better place to find them than on instant messengers?

[MojoMan220]

Trust me, that was the real deal. Like many others, I've seen this behavior time and time again. I wish I could say that those people are few and far between, but I can't. I'd say she was rather intellegent for somebody from Missouri.

[used:)]

If she was intelligent, than I hate to think of stupid people from there. Hahaha ^_^

[Dipstikk]

Congradulations, you've just wasted a good amount of time with some borderline retard. Here's your prize: A $300.00 shopping spree at Go Outsides R Us.

Damn kids with their music.

Nah, I kid. But really, Dino, you pwning someone is something we've all grown to expect. Do something totally outrageous, like... ride a shopping cart down a slope! Tape it, convert it into an mpg file, and send it to us!

If you don't do it, I will.

...Once I find an elevated spot in Florida. Our state is about as flat as an aneorexic chick.

Dipstikk you make it sound like I spend all day just looking for these people or waiting for them to message me. Seriously I'd only just got on the net, and she IMed me from out of nowhere.

But the shopping cart thing sounds good. I live very close to a grocery store parking lot (to use your yank terminology) and I've got a friend coming to stay this weekend, so I could probably get that on film quite easily. Just need to work out how I'm going to thieve one of the shopping carts.

[ANN NEELY]

...And the American intelligence and life-span have just passed each other, going in opposite directions!

Seriously, I am amazed at how incredibly stupid Americans are. That is probably why my friends call me a "Commie"...

[odd chick]

Wow...that's just insane. It had to be either a bot or a prank caller, but I'm thinking a bot more than anything. I almost find it hard to believe that it could have been an actual person...I just can't believe that people could really be that stupid, but I have been proven wrong before. :S

[Dino]

That's not a bot, you can tell from the way he/she responds. (I know, Rachel is a girls name but it could just be made up)

I'm not going to walk down the much trodden path here and assume this is how the majority of all Americans are, because to be honest it's hard to make that kind of judgement based on one person. America is a great nation just like any other successful modern nation in the world, it has it's stupid people like anywhere else, but it's got it's fair share of brilliant minds too. So I'm inclined to say "well it's probably one in a million", and I'm not about to go conducting a survey so I guess I can't say anything further. But, hey, if there's American users telling me that they come across people like that all the time, then I've only got two things to say; 1. it's no wonder Bush is in office, and 2. the downfall of the United States is at hand.

[used:)]

I know what you mean. I like my country except for the people in office and half the people in my country.

[Abe16]

That was definatly a pranker. And this 'Rachel' of whom you speak of is a real, real Nuttbrain.

[MojoMan220]

Is it really that difficult to believe that it was a genuine person? She wasn't even trying to mess with Dino.

[Majic]

I'm not going to walk down the much trodden path here and assume this is how the majority of all Americans are, because to be honest it's hard to make that kind of judgement based on one person.

Make love to me.

I'd also suggest that you don't listen to all the people that say "I come across people like that all the time." I'd say the majority of persons who make comments such as that are simply exhaggerating (sp) to squeeze out a bit of humor. That, or people just follow the tendency to only note the negatives (ie idiots of the world) and gain the wrong impression in their own minds.

[Splat]

I would think that it was a real person being serious. Just the way she (I also think it was a girl, call it brothers intuition) talked and reacted. I don't think it was a bot cause really the conversation was to complex, the way she replied to what you actually said. The same thing about a prank, nothing you said was particularly funny which would be the point of doing it. She didn't seem to be trying to make you say something idiotic, she was just making herself look like a... nuttbrain!
Maybe Dino's almighty wrath reached her through the phoneline and across a major ocean and half a continent and threw her off. Dino; you're a pretty powerful guy!

Or maybe she was just an idiot. (Dogone Americans) (No offence)

[Facsimile]

I would easily believe she was for real and the only way I see you doubting her is if you live in some high society where you don't have girls who are totally ignorant to the world around them and think it's funny to act stupid. Go in a teen girl chatroom and you will find many people like these. Hell, I even know some in person from my school.

However, and I can't believe no one else picked this up, the one thing that does make me suspicious is the name 'Huw Morris'.
If 'Huw' is prenounced like 'Hugh' then just think about it.

[Dino]

I find it quite interesting that she named that Huw Morris guy as though England was small enough for me to know everyone on it, and for the name to therefore have relevance to me. Almost like she expected me to say "oh sure I know that guy!".

I think part of the reason why I have a hard time believing that these people are for real is that I'm sceptical of people who IM me from out of nowhere and start acting like an idiot. It's not that I don't think that there are people out there who are that stupid, it's just the name, plus the stupidity... kind of an unlikely coincidence.

[Facsimile]

It's weird, because I have a few stupid people from the UK on my MSN who added me, and then when I asked them who they were, they asked me back, and didn't even know who I was. Why would you add someone you don't know? It's madness.
So if anyone can identify these email addresses:
barbie_doll_100
echo_carbuncle
both on hotmail I would very much appreciate it, because I have a strange feeling they came from here.
