Now before you all come after me with your torches and pitchforks, let me tell you a little story, about how this page came to be. Wayyy back in 2007, I copied CNN's webpage and changed some text and some pictures to reflect an apparent Zach Braff suicide. This wasn't a publicity stunt, it wasn't a plea for hits, or to promote anything else. It was just to fool some of my friends. We're really big Scrubs fans and really big Zach Braff fans. I made this page to fool them, called them to my computer, and showed them to get their reaction. I obviously told them it was a joke afterwards, but I neglected to take the page down. Apparently, something clicked with someone on the internet today. I saw my bandwidth for chrisbox.com ran out earlier, so I increased it and looked at my traffic. I saw all the hits to braff.html, and started researching. This was the second largest trending topic on Twitter along with tons of links on Facebook. I had people like Perez Hilton and even an ABC spokesperson commenting on this. The final straw to the whole thing was when Zach Braff himself made a comment about the whole situation (calling me a douchebag in this video). So let's just clear some stuff up. I did not make this page to intentionally fool everyone on the internet. I didn't expect it to even be made public. Ever. I'm sorry if I scared everyone out there. Zach, sorry if you got offended by me posting a fake suicide about you on the internet. Your 32,000 square foot house would be pretty empty without you. Thanks for (apparently) taking it lightly, since I haven't gotten a letter about a lawsuit yet. Just so you know, I'm a huge fan; that's the only reason I made this page, believe it or not. Also, sorry for upsetting your mother :( If you need to get in touch with me, you can get to me via Facebook or Twitter. |
