What he did know is that the hilarious irony would result in free publicity on the Internet.

He's always one step ahead.

Maybe he did see it coming, and got his money up front.

Since I'm new in posting on reddit: What is the best way to make sure you're not posting a dupe?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I'm newish myself. There are many many repostings -- kind of inevitable. If it is a link and you try to post to the same subreddit as an earlier posting, you will be unsuccessful. Reposting something in a new subreddit though is allowed (even encouraged). But in my case, I created an imgur image from something I saw on boing boing (which the reddit posting mechanism can't prevent)...and just happened to stumble upon the earlier posting. If you really wanted to do due diligence and avoid IRL bad karma, doing a quick search of the key words is good enough (I try to do that)...but I think most people don't even do that.

TLDR: don't worry about it.

Hah! This was the cheeky scouser unlucky enough to have derren brown do an exposé on him isn't it? I guess ticket sales are down since being filmed lying to people about dead relatives. Ho hum.

Hah just found an article about him on skeptico. Entertaining/sad that people fall for this crap.

If you're in the uk, I think the episode is still up on 4od. It's toe curlingly good. Gotta love derren, I think the guy refused to be filmed at the end.
