The ironic thing is I was just saying how I believe in my heart that @StephenAtHome is really Stephen, a sort of equivalent to believing in the Tooth Fairy at my age xD I can only *hope* Stephen uses it every once in a while, but I realize how improbable that can be. This is why I don’t believe in anything xD

What bugs me is that my friends on Twitter follow a fake Stephen, even after I tell them it really isn’t him. Fake!Stephens bother me, too, as many of you have pointed out. But that’s the interwebs for you. I hate it when people are fake in general, on OR off the ‘tubes.

reCAPTCHA: they Reform. I beg to differ.

[...] ready to post last night, but I couldn’t verify whether it was real or not, and we know how fans dislike being duped by fake Twitter accounts. It’s still possible that this is fake, but now that Comedy Central Insider and the Rolling [...]

If I were Paul Dinello I’d be pretty pissed off at the fake pages on Facebook and The MySpace, but then again, if I were Paul Dinello I’d have better things to think about.

Does this mean that Facebook is cooler than MySpace?

I will never cease to be amazed at how gullible people are on the intertubes. People even got pulled into thinking the Paul Dinello profiles on facebook and myspace are real. The FB one has an email like “stephencolbertslover@yahoo.com” uh yeah that totally legitimizes things :P but yet people still believe.

I think it just boils down to the fact that people desperately want to believe that they are actually interacting with their fave celebrity despite all proof of it being a fake.

I thought it could potentially be a staffer and the show using it for marketing because a lot of places do that now.

But Stephen sitting there with his IPhone sending tweets? Yeah, I didn’t see that one being a reality.

Course, if I think Stephen’s too cool to sit there and tweet, I am now wondering what that says about me…

I’m going to go do something important with my computer, now that I feel all uncool and dorky.

(I’m sorry if this is a double post but I dont think my first one went through.)

I dont get how people ca think the fakes are him. You would think the fact that they never have a personal photo (ie non-publicity shot or a photo taken by a photog at public events) or that they’re never “friends” with Stephen’s real friends and coworkers whom are on these sites would be proof enough that they’re not real. I guess there will always be people who are that gullible.

Lol. anyone could have figured that out. I just feel sorry for the people who believe that Stephen would take his precious time with a Twitter. but it’s still fun to look at the pages and whatnot. it is a character, after all.

That lawsuit guy is a douchebag, but I am awfully fond of the many myspace Stephens. Why not! The more the merrier. I am Spartacus and all that.
