It doesn't even matter if it's fake. Even if it's all a joke, just a big goof, it could be very, very bad for these retards. Let me propose a hypothetical for your consideration:
What if I gave you material for the funniest joke, the biggest, best joke, that would get the most laughs if you told it, but, if you did end up telling the joke, the police would show up at your door, raid your house, seize your phone, computer, and any other electronic devices, you would be monitored, both physically and electronically, you would be wiretapped, you would even potentially be actually charged with a crime or several crimes, despite being innocent. You may be forced to find tens of thousands of dollars for bond, and if you don't, you may sit in jail until, in due time, the government determines that you were telling the truth, it was merely a joke , and decides to let you out. You will not be given any compensation for this time spent in jail, you will lose your job, and if you don't have savings, you may well lose your house and car.
Would you tell that fucking joke? Yeah, I didn't think so. The process is the punishment.
