"Saturday Night Live Catfish:" http://www.hulu.com/watch/450063

So, how frequent is "Catfishing?" in general? Was Chris Catfished? How would he react if he watched the movie; would he empathize?
 
They.... made a film.... outta the Bluespike saga?

chris would empathize the only way he knows possible, by saying how his life is so much worse and how he is the most trolled and how they should make the movie about him.
 
What's catfishing? The wikipedia page is talking about "keeping people active" and shit like that.

No, they didn't.

By the connotation of the film, you would probably think it is inspired by the BlueSpike saga. The dude drives to Michigan only to expect to find no one. It doesn't really look like a good movie anyway, but I think Chris would get all preachy about it in a Facebook Note if someone showed it to him.

Well, if you are a devote Christorian, I see why you would think this is the case, but I am pretty sure it's not. This movies is just trying to cash in on the newfound awareness of this type of thing, and Chris isn't the most famous example of it.

Your childish dreams must be destroyed.
 
Slightly Off Topic but I still think the movie was faked. I just think it was way too coincidental to be legitimate. I mean filming the relationship from the start and it becomes this mystery with fake personalities? I call shenanigans. Also hated how it was shown in previews. They sold it like a horror movie but it's a fat redneck with a mentally disabled kid??? That's the surprise? Bullshit.

This. The woman was legit and trying to trick people but the guys knew from the beginning she was lying and realized it'd make an interesting film. When they'd catch her lying they'd barely confront her about it because they were afraid she'd freak out and break off contact.

This movie was trolls trolling a troll.
 
I think I'm being Catfished by a gorgeous Russian chick. She says she got my email address from a dating site. I haven't dug her up about the fact I'm not registered with any dating sites or any international ones. Every email comes with more sexy pics of the same girl and she says she's coming over to my town to study. I'm not a bad sport so I politely replied to her emails and she reckons she'll be here in June. I wonder who the hell she really is?
 
Gonna have to move this if we don't discuss how Chris is/was being catfished.

most of his "sweetheart sagas" are forms of catfishing. although, it never got to the "in person" meetup that the show likes to sensationalize. i mean you could say that actually his was just straight up trolling and not some machinations of a lonely person pretending to be someone else. so it's kind of a yes and no situation regarding chris. i have always wondered what it would be like if the show existed during the height of his trollings. so it may even be a "what if"

You know how in Chris' [cwc]Ohio Trip[/cwc] he arrived at this house:

?

And an elderly black woman answered the door? It would be funny if she was the real BlueSpike and was just a lonely old lady that wanted some hanky-panky from Chris.
 
Could be a real movie. Catfishing was big in the news a while back when some football player or something admitted he was catfished. I recall a bunch of news outlets talked about the evils of trolling and cyber-bullying for a week or two.

And yes, I think Chris would promote this movie way more than he rambled on about that one about Cyber-bullying.
