Nobody called me last saturday

Which means I will survive and nobody will be crawling out of my TV .

While in my tiny apartment this day went by quite peaceful, in the online world some individuals used the ocassion that The Ring was shown on German TV to try and fear innocent students. In the German student online community StudiVZ (comparable to Facebook) there is a group where students talk about their fears towards the Ring and all related experiences. And only just on saturday, it became obvious that somebody had created a fake account using the name “Samara Morgan”, claiming to be a member of Northwestern University. This nasty individual posted scary screenshots from the film into the group forum, and used a photo of the actual Samara crawling out of what is supposed to be her home.

In my opinion, any kind of fake account comparable to what I mentioned, is simply ridiculous, and shows the immaturity of the individual behind this account. I find it even more appalling that this person created the account in order to voluntarily scare other community members who joined that group. If one thinks that the film is funny, boring, or whatever else, that is fine, but attempting to scare others is not that nice.

Imagine me, who suffers from severe arachnophobia…I would not appreciate if anyone nasty put a spider somewhere in my apartment, and laughing about me. I know it is hardly comparable to what stated before, but fears are fears, be it towards Samara or spiders
