You have been arrested?
Turns out I had been trolled.
The Vigilanteh had used ShrtURL, a platform
Time magazine described as the most dangerous website in America , to create a spoof article.
I was being mistaken for a much more humorous, much more creative and much more infamous Singaporean who was now supposedly behind bars for online vigilantism.
I was not amused. I called the police.
Teh tarik-drinking Vigilanteh or Choson Exchange volunteer?
After being suitably distressed, and being reminded that I was unimportant enough for anyone to care about after a few days, the incident got me thinking about the nature of media in today’s wired world.
