This train-wreck of a sentence appeared as a response in a 4chan thread about “animals that are bad-ass”. It’s no “Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?”, but it’s close.

Is Google Buying 4chan?
No. Also: hahahahhahaa.
Just a friendly reminder not to listen to, like, 90% of professional tech "analysts." From the end of a legitimate-looking newswire story, on a legitimate site:
Meanwhile, Google continues to work hard to stay ahead, finding new and growing areas to expand into. Most recently the company has begun discussions to acquire the website 4chan which would bring with it a large user base.
First of all, this makes no sense. None. Google is the largest site in the world! Google doesn't need to bring in users bases fro — you know what, I'm not even going to bother. Google is Google and 4chan is 4chan. This reads like a joke.
For kicks, I asked 4chan founder Chris Poole what he had to say:

4Chan Hacks Feminism.org To Make Rape Jokes
It’s your predictable misogynistic free-for-all.
For about 12 hours now, feminism.org has been the playground of hackers who've filled the site with sexist alleged jokes about horse blow jobs, rape, and more. Fake headlines include: "men are superior get over it!!!!" and "how to get raped 1 to 1." According to a lengthy discussion thread on Reddit, hackers from the 4chan community are behind it.
But first, wait, what is feminism.org? Well, it's nothing really. According to the Wayback Archive (which features screengrabs of websites on different dates), the site was "under construction" in 2011, but otherwise hasn't been an active website in about ten years. So yes, it's an attack on feminism, but it's not an attack on an actual functioning organization.
Take a look at some screenshots of the page from the past few hours:
The photo is of Gabe Newell, the founder of a video game company called Valve. Posting his photo is a popular joke among 4chan users.
This is what the Google search for feminism.org looks like.
Here are fake course descriptions offered by the "Feminist Psychology Institute."
Burger King Employee Stands In Lettuce, Gets Busted By 4chan
This is why you don’t mess with people’s food or the internet.
So here's what happened: an anonymous user posted an image on 4chan Monday night of himself standing in two tubs of lettuce along with the caption "This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King."
Unfortunately for him, he failed to strip out the GPS tags before uploading the picture, and the anons (the nameless, faceless people who spend time on 4chan) pretty much immediately tracked down his location to Mayfield Heights, Ohio.
Within 20 minutes they had contacted both local news outlets as well as the manager of the Burger King where the photo was taken, who was understandably upset. Reports say the employee has been identified and fired. The Cuyahoga County Board of Health also payed a visit to the franchise.

Bronies' Dew Dreams Dashed
Nerd aqua vitae Mountain Dew ran a contest to let fans choose their newest apple flavor soda. Bronies earnestly wanted to name it after a popular My Little Pony character. 4chan had other plans.
Mountain Dew Pony (good grief)
4chan has always loved trolling bronies (adult male fans of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic), and this time the bronies' dreams were merely collateral damage from a larger corporate trolling effort.
Mountain Dew created a site, dubthedew.com where fans could suggest and vote on the name for its new green apple flavor. Equestria Daily, a popular brony blog, encouraged readers to vote for the name "Applejack", which is the name of one of the ponies on the show. At one point Applejack was in second place.
However, as The Daily Dot reports, 4chan also caught wind of the voting contest, and flooded it with obscene names. Mountain Dew shut down the site (a mirror version still exists) and closed voting.
Poor bronies. They even had created a Dew themed pony. Mountain Dew, I implore you to do the right thing and name your gross sugary beverage after a television pony!

Proof That Jeff Mangum Is A Time Traveling Nazi Hunter
4chan has developed a theory that the Neutral Milk Hotel singer traveled back in time to save Anne Frank, raised her as his little sister, then eventually married her. Before you say this is crazy, consider the facts.
A new theory proposed by 4chan's music board /mu/ suggests that Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeff Mangum traveled back in time to save Anne Frank from the Nazis and brought her back to the Eighties where she posed as his sister, Coraline.
TheIthacan points out that 4channers stumbled upon this theory upon finding photos from Mangum's high school year book and noticing that his sister bears a striking resemblance to Anne Frank. Frank's life story was, of course, the basis of Neutral Milk Hotel's beloved album In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.
Jeff's sister Coraline vs Anne Frank:
A star just above Coraline's head in a group photo is further evidence of her true identity:
Another 4chan user notice a similarity between Coraline and Jeff's current wife, Astra Taylor. Could it be.....?

Rick Santorum Website Features 4Chan Founder
What is Moot doing on the Patriot Voices page?
Moot, the founder of anarchic Web forum 4Chan, is pictured in a section of the website for former presidential candidate Rick Santorum's Patriot Voices group, Betabeat noticed on Wednesday.
The photo matches the one on Moot's (real name: Chris Poole) Wikipedia page.
Spokespeople for Santorum didn't immediately return BuzzFeed's request for clarification.
Update: Moot emails to say he doesn't know how he got there either:
Maybe a user created a profile using my Wikipedia photo as the profile pic, or a designer/intern someone working on the site thought it would be funny. Or I look like a wholesome Tea Partier. Who knows.

Watch How A 4chan Hoax Happens
On Monday night, BuzzFeed sat in on a private chatroom full of anonymous 4chan members as they put together a follow-up prank to their #Cutting4Bieber Twitter hoax on Monday. WARNING: Extremely NSFW language.
When the 4chan community starts a raid they meet in a private IRC chatroom. Last night's meeting took place in a private, IRC-built, self-hosted chatroom.
Members of the chatroom have agreed upon the hashtag #RememberAddison, which they plan on using to fake a teenage girl's death on twitter, claiming she was a victim of the #cutting4beiber hoax.
They're currently deciding on who will spread the death hoax on what social network. Reddit, Tumblr, and 9gag are common targets of theirs.
They've taken things to the next step, creating a false social media trail for this fake Addison girl. One member of the chat writes a script while another member begins making a YouTube channel for her.
