The detectives over in the Universal Hubâs comments have been trying to verify this story by researching the weather that night, wedding announcements, blue laws, etc: http://www.universalhub.com/2015/most-amazing-boston-missed-connection-ever
tl;dr: frustrated writer posts unpublished screenplay summary on Craigslist
Lovely but so totally fake. Seems more like a womanâs voice in the writing actually.
If boing boing were around back in the 70âs, I wonder if weâd be talking about Vietnam,? Itâs not like Iraq or Afghanistan is any less stupid or uselessâŚ
What do you gain by being so smugly, invulnerably cynical? Does it make you happier?
Do you really think it matters whether the story is true or anonymous fiction?
Well I suppose it matters possibly, but it in no way makes it not beautiful.
It doesnât matter at all if itâs true or fiction. What matters is that itâs an attempt to generate âSafety Not Guaranteedâ marketing buzz. IOW, itâs a PR stunt.
So my objection is not about the veracity or the quality of the writing, but of the hidden intent.
If it was written by a woman, I am guessing she is heavily freckled.
well, if he wants this to go viral among the conservatives, the whole âChristmas Bombings saved livesâ schtick is a nice touch.
Wow, what an asshole. After forty years, the author got a few details wrong, therefore heâs a lying college student and Vietnam was a glorious war against evil? Really?
I had a similar thought (about the debunker being a bitter little person), whilst respecting the systematic nature of his challenge. It was an interesting read.
Why are there so many people in this thread who hate love? Why? Canât you guys⌠just enjoy something thatâs well written, even if itâs maybe not real?
