21. Maybe it never was.
Edited on Fri Oct-29-10 11:46 PM by Qutzupalotl
You'll notice there is no status or current time shown on any of the posts to allow checking. Also, facebook profile photos are user-created, so it's really an impossibility.

28. It was real. There have been several articles about it. They did beck too.
Edited on Sat Oct-30-10 02:16 PM by Tunkamerica
beck's got taken down in a minute. Palin's stayed up for an hour or so. Oh and they did Beiber.

All of those people changed their photos to those letters and posted in that order. Not impossible and it's what they did.

20. I don't think that's possible without Photoshop
Edited on Fri Oct-29-10 11:53 PM by Qutzupalotl
what with the way facebook works and all.

It's still a funny image, though, and apropos. But I'm unreccing anyway so as to punk fewer DUers.

25. Nope, somebody really did it.
Keep Fear Alive! The inside story of a group of rogue ad execs who hijacked Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck’s Facebook pages—and how you can, too.

The vertical message that ran down the left side on Glenn Beck's Facebook page the night of October 14 read clear as that evening's sky: "K-E-E-P F-E-A-R A-L-I-V-E." It was a reference to Stephen Colbert’s March to Keep Fear Alive, a gathering organized in faux-competition with this weekend’s Rally to Restore Sanity, headlined by Jon Stewart.

Minutes after the first message appeared, the same letters, in the same order, began turning up on the fan pages of FOX News', Sarah Palin, and hilariously, Justin Bieber. Each letter was displayed in the space where a profile picture would normally be, next to a posted comment. As each Facebook user posted their comments in the right order, the message came to life.

29. I stand corrected.
I didn't think it was possible to get that many people that coordinated without someone uninvolved jumping in and fucking it up (as page 2 of your link describes). So, hats off to the planners and a little luck.
