The fan controversy...

Featured Replies

Do fans cause random deaths? Are the Koreans insane? Is it aliens?

 

 

 

 

 

This is a serious discussion.

Well, a lot of things could be used as weapons. It's possible. :-k

I really cant believe that, since i sleep with three fans on in my room (one in window and two on me) with the door shut.

Don't leave your fans on when you sleep. :ohnoes:

i slightly leave the door open when i turn my fan on when i sleep.(its very hot here) and nothing serious happened. i never felt like risking my life over this rumor but i doubt its true.

Welcome to last week when I posted this in another thread.

 

 

 

I have my fan on almost everyday and as far as i'm aware I have never died. Koreans (and everyone else that belives this) are stupid. the fan manufacturers are just as much to blame though by putting warnings on and timers which just fuels the myths.

I think its just a myth started to make people turn off their fans to conserve energy, or else their a little coo-coo.

How stupid do you have to be to believe this stupid idea :uhh:

If fans can kill people then teddy bears can go to the bathroom.

I sleep with a fan on and i'm pretty sure I'm not dead. *examines body to be sure* nope, still alive here folks!

 

 

 

My mom doesn't like the fan. she believes if it blows directly on you itll make your entire body go stiff. is that true?

[hide=]

tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:
But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.
That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers. Those PETA bastards will never see it coming until the porcupines are half way up their asses.

Apparently a lot of people say it. I own.

He blames the Korean media for the persistence of the urban legend:

 

 

 

Korean reporters are constantly writing inaccurate articles about death by fan, describing these deaths as being caused by the fan. That's why it seems that fan deaths only happen in Korea, when in reality these types of deaths are quite rare. They should have reported the victim's original defects such as heart or lung disease, which are the main cause of death in these cases. If a Western doctor investigated these deaths, he would say what really caused the death, and say that a fan was beside the victim.

 

 

 

 

That's basically my stance on the situation.

A friend to all is a friend to none.

Haha, I can see that.

 

 

 

Jamie: Adam, who should we put in the room with the fan, and leave overnight to see if they die?

 

 

 

Adam: Well, Jaime, I've been looking forward to testing this for quite some time now, so, I would really like it if I could be the one to sit in the room with the fan on and see if I die.

jamie: maybe we should use buster?

wow this world is full of such paranoia...

 

jeezus...i sleep with a fan on and im still fine..

 

people these days are just so stupid and wow it surprises me..

 

i think we are dumber then we were 1000 years ago..

 

 

 

EDIT: also how can a fan steal your oxygen? all its doing is circulating your CO2 and O,

 

I fail to see how Asians (stereotypically speaking) are the smartest race but yet...they think a fan will suck your oxygen away like a vortex? o wow....

Urban legend, case closed.

I was going to eat hot dogs for dinner tonight. I think I will settle for cereal.

 

OPEN WIDE HERE COMES THE HELICOPTER.

I keep my ceiling fan on constantly. If I don't, it gets really hot in here really fast because the air conditioning somehow doesn't circulate to my room. :(

 

 

 

One time, I was sitting here at my computer, browsing these forums... like I've been known to do from time to time... and one of my fan blades flew off and hit the wall I guess a foot away from my head. :lol: Scared the crap out of me.

Yea, but it's a brilliant move by the marketing teams. :mrgreen: I bet their "timed fans" made them a killing.

Those dirty fans. Eating my air!

I guess it's possible, but we need to do tests to find some evidence.
