Dattebayo Staff NOT Arrested at Otakon [YHBT]
2007/07/22
Attention people of the internet, you have been trolled!
So well in fact, you caused news organizations and corporations to be fooled into thinking it was true.
Well it wasn't, it was a big joke. Some of you got it from the beginning, as the text YHBT clearly appeared at the bottom of the page, and some of you are still fooled to this day.
There were so many clues that this was a troll from start to finish and yet it fooled a lot of people, and caused trouble for some. If it caused you trouble directly, you are an idiot for not getting it. If it caused you trouble by other people causing you trouble, we apologize, our intention is only to trick OUR fans, and not to cause trouble for other persons or organizations. Think carefully about the places you get your news, especially when it's us.
No arrests of DB staff took place at Otakon and none have ever taken place. No one was injured or died as a result. No police were involved. If something like that was to actually happen, you would not hear about it on the DB website. You would not hear about it at all.
We wish to also personally apologize to Otakorp, the parent company of Otakon, who suffered unduly due to our false press release.
YHBT
