    As someone who has never heard of this website, the idea that someone would fill out all this information and not automatically assume a cop is sitting on the other end is unhinged to me.
  • @robertbraden4454
    This webpage is basically an IQ test with criminal repercussions.
  • @Ars3nic.
    to be honest a web where you “hire” a hitman but instead get arrested by the police is straight up genius lmao
  • @themilkman6969
    imagine how embarrassing it must be to get caught because of a silly joke website made in 2005
  • @bigjimbo2843
    Even though it is a parody website, I love how they offer "senior discounts"
  • @initial_C
    I love when true crime isn't about serial killers but about humans being absolute jabronis.
  • @carolineh.1925
    I think it's absolutely horrible that the guy who wanted to kill two minors for sexual reasons got off with just probation. That guy deserves actual jail time.
  • @jameskelly3502
    I've heard of the website. I'm glad to learn that: 1) It's real, I thought it might just be an urban legend, 2) People have gone to jail 3) People are still falling for it.
  • @mangagirlyt1076
    "THE DARK WEB IS NOT SAFE, BUT WE ARE" Yeah, that TOTALLY DOES NOT sound suspicious in ANY kind of way.
  • @jeremykhan887
    There's an irony that the website was originally for testing IT security, and accidentally became a social engineered honeypot to catch the dumbest of the dumb.
  • @RapinatorOhYeah
    I know this is a joke website but damn the fact that you can hire someone to kill a "annoying podcaster" is f*cking hilarious
  • That 18 year old guy really got only 5 years probation for trying to see two underage girls strangled to death?? I'm sure he's gonna hurt someone in the future.
  • @ToniAiraksinen
    Even though it's a parody website, the group discounts for seniors and TEMU workers is hilarious
  • @MercuryLuke
    The fact some serious websites do barely any good but a joke website saved hundreds of dozens of lives 💀
  • @hedgehog3180
    This is like the opposite of scam emails that are intentionally poorly written in order to filter out those who wouldn't fall for it.
  • @leatheryfoot6354
    A mother just tried to Rent-a-Hitman to take out her 3-year old child. Looks like we'll need a part 2 sooner than later.
  • @SerPounceToebeans
    If you hire a hitman from that website to put a hit on yourself, you won't get into trouble, instead they will send you a heartfelt email of resources to seek help. 👍
  • @elevatorweather
    the fact that the dangerous young man who wanted two minors dead for his desires only got five years of probation and is allowed to go back into society, but the old woman who wanted her husband dead for being a predator and owing her money got 15 years in prison is insane
  • @davicl3s548
    Who else as a kid thought the dark web was just the internet with dark mode turned on and you were allowed to do anything you wanted lmao
