The Audioless Basis as Sound

A few days ago, a video link circulated the web. It was a morning news segment on FoxNews of two brothers demonstrating to a reporter on a busy New York street 'how easy it is to steal a bike and how easy it is to get your bike stolen.'

Holding a portable saw in one hand, one of the boys cuts a chain that is being used to secure a bicycle to a bike rack beside them on the sidewalk.
Abruptly a few moments into the noise of the cutting saw, a scream from the other boy standing nearby draws the camera's attention as he falls onto the ground clenching his throat that he pretends is cut.
The reporter, unamused and somehow offended, stops the segment. 'Stop!' the reporter repeatedly demands, claiming the act unsuitable for the viewers at home who happen to be impressionable children.

In grammar school, the students in class would find particular enjoyment in the activity that involved the teacher whispering a phrase into one of the student's ears, who then in turn would whisper into the ear of the next student what he or she had just heard.
Down the rows it quietly traversed and through the aisles it was passed until finally making its way to the ear of the last student who, speaking in a full voice for all to hear, repeated what it was he or she had just heard.
The students, erupting with laughter, laughed even at times without considering what was being said.

I find it poetic that it was a catholic school.

Something caught my attention the other day and now I'd like to share it...
After having watched the above mentioned video, I became curious about the kinds of comments that people would post.
So I began to read them.
Then appeared one comment in particular that expressed something the other comments before it failed to address. From that point, I am posting the comments below as they appear, until a full cycle in this scientific model of corruption can be seen.
