Talk:Masterbatitus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Google shows only two hits, both posts on forums. Notability seems unlikely. -FisherQueen 19:19, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

IGN erases threads that expire over a couple months. Myspace reports do not show up in google nor do picturebook responses. I work in radio atm and will be starting a show around the new year in Orlando, and the verbal word is often not googable.

If you do a myspace check you can see that Michael Dupont is the 2nd most viewed subscriber on that database and this story has been broadcasted by CNN and WESH as well as a spoof by Brooke Hogan on youtube.

I decided to post this story as it has been questioned a number of times. I also will be posting a biography about him as he has a book coming out around Q2 of 2007. I believe his rants and situations he created should be known. He started the cyber bully issue, he has appeared on a number of talk shows and radio shows, and this was known as one of the biggest hoaxs ever via myspace and picturebook and IGN / Warez community sites.

I would appreciate it if it stayed. Then within a week see how many hits it has recieved and you will notice I am not creating a fictional illness.

(Edit) I am new to the "wikipedia experience" as I was directed here by coworkers to finally post the origins since it is so widely discussed (especially on the Opie & Anthony Show), and that is what I heard this was created for. To release information that is true so that people can look it up and understand. I would appreciate this artical salvaged as it has meaning to a LOT of people, so if there is a way to help me edit it please let me know.

If this really is notable, then it can be kept. Here's how.

1. Place a hangon tag on the page, to mark it for an administrator's review. The pink box on the page will show you how. Don't remove the tag, just add the hangon. 2. Identify sources where the notability of this can be verified- newspaper articles, the CNN site, wherever it's been published. Don't try to use MySpace as a source- since anyone can post anything there, it doesn't usually get much respect as a cite. 3. Good luck to you. If you can demonstrate notability, the admins will remove the speedy deletion tag- they're very reasonable people, and I've had to defend a few of my articles from deletion, too.

1. Done 2. XM Corporate Phone Numbers: Phone: 202-380-4000 Show Origin: The Opie & Anthony Show. Masterbatitus was a 35 minute discussion on May 24, 2006. The Opie & Anthony Show is currently #1 in the Nation. Goodbye Stern. Like I said, this broadcast was verbal, as was the CNN telecast before it was caught as a gagged and never mentioned. 3. Michael Dupont himself is currently the #2 most subscribed member of myspace. A linked top Admin at the IGN Gaming Network. Co-host currently of the Drew Garabo Show in central florida and has appeared on The Daily Buzz a number of times. http://www.cflradio.net/drew_garabo_bio.htm

I hope that something as widely used on air as this would be able to be accepted. Stern says a lot of things on air that are never written or googable. How would one write down 'BubbaBouey' which he uses all the time when it is spoken not written.

I can't list sources for the news sites as I don't think it was ever put into papers and such. But to list sources I can give the numbers to all the Public Relations for about 3 radio shows and stations in Orlando, as well as the XM Main HQ for PR (because I spent a good 30 minutes defending myself for this hoax).

Would a written testament from ex WWE Wrestler Kurt Angle or Pee Wee Herman (Paul Reubens) help? I know them personally and both have used the term in random statments as a gag.

But the O&A Show rep should help as a viable source.

(edit) This article or section does not cite its references or sources. You can help Wikipedia by introducing appropriate citations. This article has been tagged since ####.

I would accept one of those on the page, even tho I have cited references and sources as best as I can. I can't magically haul things out of thin air. A good example is how everyone used the termL Peppered. When Dick Chaney shot his friend in the face. Peppered is spoken.. not written and rarely used if not ever until this incident. Why you don't have a wikipedia about Peppering someone in the face as a nicer way to say drive by is beyond my understanding.... but this is a good example by what I am trying to make.

You should make one about being peppered tho :) Since it is widely used and has become a very very big joke.
