BREAKING!!! Manti Te'o Was Set Up

[Pyrotechnia]

This just in...Person who made the fake woman's identity had confessed! Manti Te'o was never in this hoax. He was completely innocent, and duped.

Wow... Just wow...

I cannot imagine the pain that Manti Te'o is going through from the onset of this disaster. If there is one thing you NEVER do in this world, it is fuck around with someone's emotions. Manti was already ATTACHED to what he thought was a genuine woman in need, only to get whacked hard.

As a person who had experienced true love, I completely understand how it feels and how it feels to suddenly lose it. To put it bluntly, heartbreak CAN and WILL cause physical sickness.

I never heard of the TEO guy and who gives a shit

 

[Gaylords Force]

Dude is naive as fuck

 

[equus]

this just in, i still dont fucking care....

 

[Fateless]

how was it set up???? the guy said that he talked to her to help her sleep. HE WAS LYING THEN

 

[Lost Limb**]

The guy is a complete idiot. How can you have a girlfriend if you've never met her? There is another bunch of glaring holes in this shitty story.

how was it set up???? the guy said that he talked to her to help her sleep. HE WAS LYING THEN

Also, that he met her

If you believe Manti wasn't in on it, and thought his serious girlfriend was someone who he never spoke to, only twittered and texted, and was mistaken about when he met her in person (Stanford 2009?), then either you think he was really stupid, or you are really stupid.

Is this like a troll smear piece for a graphic novel Martyrs?

This in no way shape or form affects my life.

Probably got a girl to pretend to be her when he called.

Has no seen catfish to see how this shit works

 

[Slick_36]

So how does that explain him continuing to talk about her after finding out about it being a hoax? And I like the plug you put in there at the end for you novel. :wink:

Believing catfish was totally real is equally 'tarded.

 

[MortalWombat]

oooh so maaad

Actually, this was just an image from a linked story.

whether it was real or not shit happens

 

[Lost Limb**]

whether it was real or not shit happens

How can you refer to that film as an example before admitting it was fake?

Even if he wasn't in on it he still lied or at least let the media run with many lies like how long they were together, when they would meet, etc.

There has been plenty of instances of long distance relationships which lasted for a long time before the two people actually met.

As early as the 1600s, colonial Quaker writer Elizabeth Ashbridge writes about a man in Massachusetts Colony writing letters to a woman in Ireland. They never met before and only corresponded because a friend introduced them to start writing. The relationship lasts for 10+ years while he remains in Massachusetts on the King's duty, and both of them stays chaste and faithful to each other.

IT EXISTS, and unfortunately, there are also predators out there that like to fuck with people.

There is a show called CATFISHING, and it is all about people online falling in love with someone who they thought was legit, but turned out to be just a prankster.

 

[Nonsense]

He said he spoke to her for HOURS every single night.

Come on now, boys.

 

[ocean size]

Come on now, boys.

Not to mention met her in person. Now he's throwing his buddy under the bus, saying he deserves criminal charges. If his friend the hoaxer deserves charges, Manti probably deserves criminally stupid charges at the least.

What about saying that he's talked to her and met her in person?
