Hoaxes aren’t funny. In fact, some hoaxes not only interfere with the scientific study on a particular subject, but they can be dangerous as well. Dedicated people who are trying to solve some of the worlds’ most vexing mysteries have to deal with polluted information from hoaxes. People who initiate hoaxes need to get a life.

A good example of a waste of time and energy is the crop-circle hoaxers who stamp around the farmland like idiots with boards attached to their feet. Crop-circles are a huge mystery, as there is proven evidence of radiation emanating from the ground after the circle is discovered. Not only are there physical deformations in evidence, but some people who have walked through the area of a crop-circle have complained of feeling light-headed, nauseous, and displaced. There is some sort of energy pattern that we just aren’t familiar with in the vicinity of crop-circles. When some idiot hoaxer interferes with the area in question, or claims he or she “made” the circle, it sends clouds of confusion over the whole subject. The hoaxer also wastes the valuable time and effort of dedicated scientists and others who are trying to solve this perplexing mystery.

Hoaxing is not funny, it’s a foolish waste of time that interferes with some folks livelihoods. How can people find hoaxing funny? They certainly must have a twisted sense of humor, that’s for sure. Is it funny to cost people time and money chasing after fabricated and convoluted data? Yeah, real funny. Hoaxers should be punished to the full extent of the law, then THAT would be funny.

There are many examples of people who fabricated hoaxes on serious subjects. Crop-circles are just one example, but there are many, many more. How about those that claim they have some secret power to contact the dead? I’m talking about those that will take money from innocent victims who are sucked into the hoaxers web, then they pay the hoaxer to contact their loved one. That’s not funny, that’s sad. Of course, people have been gullible since the dawn of time, but that doesn’t mean one has the right to take advantage of that gullibility, does it? Examples of this charade are seances and other supposed “real” mystical powers that claim to contact the other side. I’m not talking about those who actually have a heightened sixth sense, but those that are conniving others into paying them money because they claim they have the sole inroad to the other side. People who engage in this con job should be put behind bars.

Everyone has their own version of what makes something funny, be it at the movies, on stage, the Internet or the radio. But fabricating hoaxes on serious subjects isn’t funny, it’s despicable.
