MAN: He’s got AIDS! Get outta there! (Everybody out. Now!)
In 2006, a pandemic spread across In 2006, a pandemic spread across the world. (Everybody out!) Extensive research from the CVC revealed Habbo Hotel Pool… as the point of origin. Likely after someone jacked off into one of the filters. Since then, a band of unlikely heroes has worked tirelessly to keep the people safe… To close every pool. It all started on July 12th. The plan was simple: Create an account… Make an avatar… Full suit, dark skin, big afro… Log in, and block the pool. Hundred flooded in to block the ladders and prevent players from catching The AIDS. They arranged themselves in the standard health and safety swastika formation. [HSS] The mission was an overwhelming success. No one could get into the pool. But then, another threat emerged. On September 4th, Steve Irwin, well-known animal fighter, was killed by a stingray. Provoked and en mass, intel indicated that many more stingrays were headed for the Habbo Hotel pools. Now the pool was filled with AIDS, and stingrays, and most likely those stingrays also had AIDS. Operation September 11th was launched, and once again our heroes marched towards the pools. But it wasn’t just the Habbo pool that had people worried. Here is one concerned citizen having their own local pool closed. LOCAL CITIZEN: Uh, Hi..? LOCAL CITIZEN: Um… LOCAL CITIZEN: There’s kind of a… an emergency. LOCAL CITIZEN: Um… LOCAL CITIZEN: I was–I was swimming in the pool, LOCAL CITIZEN: and I cut my leg, and I mean… LOCAL CITIZEN: There was a fair amount of blood, and LOCAL CITIZEN: I-uh-It’s not enough for me to LOCAL CITIZEN: go to the hospital, but, LOCAL CITIZEN: I actually have HIV… and, LOCAL CITIZEN: I… POOL OFFICIAL: You were in the pool, like right now? LOCAL CITIZEN: Yes ma’am… and I… I… LOCAL CITIZEN: People could be getting infected right– POOL OFFICIAL: Uh well… LOCAL CITIZEN: I mean, it’s– POOL OFFICIAL: I’ll go shut the pool. LOCAL CITIZEN: You’re gonna close the pool? POOL OFFICIAL: Yep. LOCAL CITIZEN: Okay thank you ma’am. POOL OFFICIAL: You’re welcome. LOCAL CITIZEN: [enthusiastic] Pool’s closed! (People shouting) (People shouting)
(WHISTLE) (People shouting)
LIFE GUARD: Aids! Everybody out. Recruitment was at an all-time high. Pools were being shut down left and right. It looked as if our heroes could really achieve a permanent pool shutdown. But then, things took a sharp turn. The racist mods had arrived. They were determined to keep the pool open even though they knew the risks. Bannings left and right. This wasn’t a war. This was a massacre. Hundreds of avatars were lost. But our heroes were not giving up so easily. If they couldn’t take the fight to Habbo… they would take it to the streets. POOL OFFICIAL: Yeah. CONCERNED CITIZEN: Yes, and what did they exactly tell you? POOL OFFICIAL: To evacuate the pool? CONCERNED CITIZEN: Okay, because of uh, CONCERNED CITIZEN: because of HIV, CONCERNED CITIZEN: correct? POOL OFFICIAL: That’s correct. CONCERNED CITIZEN: Alright– CONCERNED CITIZEN: One of the standard procedures CONCERNED CITIZEN: is we need you to uh, CONCERNED CITIZEN: go ahead and put a sign outside CONCERNED CITIZEN: the pool, and tell them why CONCERNED CITIZEN: it’s closed. POOL OFFICIAL: Right, we’re doing that right now- CONCERNED CITIZEN: Er-um, what are you– CONCERNED CITIZEN: what are you putting on the sign CONCERNED CITIZEN: exactly? CONCERNED CITIZEN: Because there are some rules– POOL OFFICIAL: um, “due to health and safety.” CONCERNED CITIZEN: Yeah, it-uh, “pool’s closed due to,” CONCERNED CITIZEN: um… “AIDS,” actually. POOL OFFICIAL: Do we have to specify “AIDS?” I mean– CONCERNED CITIZEN: Yes. Um… POOL OFFICIAL: Okay. “Pool Closed due to AIDS.” CONCERNED CITIZEN: Yeah.
POOL OFFICIAL: Okay. CONCERNED CITIZEN: And, and…
POOL OFFICIAL: Okay, so who’s coming down here? POOL OFFICIAL: And they’re gonna test the water, POOL OFFICIAL: when they come down here, CONCERNED CITIZEN: John Robertson. POOL OFFICIAL: John Robertson from Castle, right? CONCERNED CITIZEN: Yes. POOL OFFICIAL: Okay, he’s coming down here? CONCERNED CITIZEN: Yes…
POOL OFFICIAL: Okay. CONCERNED CITIZEN: Uh-Okay. Good. Okay.
POOL OFFICIAL: Okay, thank you. (CALL ENDS)
OTHER CITIZEN: Okay, so, OTHER CITIZEN: we just got an entire pool evacuated. OTHER CITIZEN: and they now have a sign outside OTHER CITIZEN: the pool saying OTHER CITIZEN “Pool closed due to AIDS.” Hehe… But just as the real-life campaign to shut down the pools was reaching it’s peak, a new challanger emerged. If the mods were trash mobs, She would be the final boss. ANCHOR A: Banned from a swimming pool? ANCHOR A: Tonight their grandmother is outraged. ANCHOR B: –trying to make sense of a sign. REPORTER A: She never thought that after REPORTER A: FIFTY YEARS. REPORTER A: Her grandkids REPORTER A: would be the TARGET… REPORTER A: of such hate. REPORTER B: But this is a sign that one woman REPORTER B: that lives in this area REPORTER B: DIDN’T EXPECT TO SEEE ANCHOR C: Mary Alice says when this sign was up, ANCHOR C: the pool wasn’t closed at all! MARY ALICE: -and I tell myself it’s just a bunch of MARY ALICE: racist homophobic geeks MARY ALICE: ridiculing me. But our heroes weren’t about to take it lying down. They found her home phone number and made pleas to reason, and logic. ANCHOR C: Mary Alice received several calls after ANCHOR C: she began telling her story. She would not listen. She knew how to make it all about her… and she knew how to play the media. MARY ALICE: This kinda stuff is -old- MARY ALICE: and it’s -ugly- MARY ALICE: and it’s -tired- and, MARY ALICE: It’s time for it -time for it to be buried- ANCHOR C: According to some websites, ANCHOR C: this image is associated with (audible hacking)
ANCHOR C: a group of hackers who invaded a (audible hacking)
ANCHOR C: children’s’ social networking site. ANCHOR C: Just an online inside joke?? MARY ALICE: A joke is when two people laugh. MARY ALICE: I’m not laughing. ANCHOR A: She’s not laughing. She was not laughing. ANCHOR B: During our interview, Altorfer learned ANCHOR B: of a second flyer at the pool. MARY ALICE: It’s a picture of ME with an afro? ANCHOR B: Police did collect it for prints. MARY ALICE: When they get tired of making fun of a grandma… MARY ALICE: Online… MARY ALICE: They will find something better to do… For months, she continued to campaign to keep the pool open. (DJ Quads – “Missing Someone”) Pool is closed due to AIDS Also Intermission is over bitch In 2009, our brothers prepared for another raid. But they didn’t know… It could be… their last… The Racist Mods and Devs had changed the rules. They allowed avatars to walk through each other. Nothing
could ever be blocked again. What followed was a series of shitty raids. Each more failed than the last… and the fail gave way to infighting. First, there was a faction of skinheads who split away. Then The Gingers decided to make their own group. Then there was (communism)
total communist revolution. (communism) In 2010 things only got worse… and by 2011, It looked as though there would never be another successful raid again. These were the brother’s darkest days… and it was almost certain… that the pools would remain open. Forever. But then… In 2012… A ray of hope. ANCHOR D: -and I at channel four news can reveal ANCHOR D: that the children’s’ online gaming site ANCHOR D: ‘Habbo Hotel’ ANCHOR D: is inhabited by ANCHOR D: PEDOPHILES. ANCHOR D: Following our revelations, ANCHOR D: one of the company’s biggest, ANCHOR D: multi-million pound investors, ANCHOR D: has pulled out. In one quick shift of fortune, It became possible that not just the pool, but the entire hotel could be closed indefinitely. AMBER: It has been the best part of–what, ten–years AMBER: that Habbo has been going on AMBER: and within a week AMBER: turnoff will have managed to–basically, AMBER: tear that down. Admins muted the whole game for a week. No one could talk to anyone… and the playerbase sank right through the floor. But the best part was? Our brothers had re-unified. The divisions of the past had been put to the side. They came together to kick Habbo while it was down… and they were coming… prepared. With their growth in numbers, they didn’t need to block. They just had to make a large and annoying presence. And with Habbo’s dwindling playerbase, it was easier than ever. CP: I think these people need a little CP: EDUCATION CP: About the HIV virus. MA-TI: The diseases here MA-TI: protect your children! UPSTANDING CITIZEN: I have HIV… UPSTANDING CITIZEN: and there’s… my blood is UPSTANDING CITIZEN: in the water, and there’s… UPSTANDING CITIZEN: heh, it’s not good, y’know… UPSTANDING CITIZEN: I can’t- POOL OFFICIAL: I got’cha. Well, I appreciate POOL OFFICIAL: you calling, we will take POOL OFFICIAL: drastic measures– MAUREEN: We have, uh, MAUREEN: hourly testing, by, uh, MAUREEN: management staff, we also have MAUREEN: weekly testing of our water, SAVIOR: (low quality) The pool is closed due to AIDS It’s been quite the adventure. Of highs and lows… pools, and AIDS… pedos, and stingrays… and now, it’s 2017. There will be two great raids this year. July 12th… The anniversary of the very first raid. And December 1st… World AIDS Day. It’s up to you whether you want to come along. But I hope to see you there, brothers.
"a joke is when 2 people laugh…im not laughing"
youre right, you arent…
but several million other people are, which, correct me if im wrong here, is a FUCK of a lot more than 2 people
4:51 is kinda ironic
1:03 Lol the white kid
Got a Pool-Service ad on this. No joke
Oh crap that's my city 😂😂
I found her on FB, I told her that the pool is closed….she wasn’t laughing
The first raid was on my birthday. And it was one heck of a present
I think EVERY online game for children is riddled with pedos lmao
the editing skills thou 😍
I spent some time researching and no, you cannot get AIDs from a swimming pool. Long story short, chlorine water is not a good and hospitable place for HIV/AIDS virus. Yet again, the internet is replete with idiots trying to get attention and spreading misinformation just to troll other people. Sometimes I wish the world would catch on fire so we can see how everything is when there are no humans left alive ;p
10 things why the internet is powerful than you think
A ray of hope: paedophilia
I love the internet community, give them a purpose, and they will all join in it without discussion and they will be proud of it for years.
There's a new app made by the same people called hotel hideaway
Pools closed
I’ve watched this nearly 30 times and it still kills me.
I've watched this video maybe 9 times. And every time i love it more and more
She had not been laughing
I been sent from the future to close the pool
4:08 OmG oMg OwO san antonio boyz
Reunite in 4 days dads?
Then the next raid is caused by Quackityhq
It's awesome of what we can do with Unity.
8:45 jesus chatline gang rise up once again for our fallen camrade
if only the joke was funny
Ahh the golden days of trolling. This and the great Harry Potter raid were legendary.
"A bunch of racist homophobic geeks, ridiculing me." Welp, she's not wrong lol
Who wins? The neighborhood family pool…or a bunch of Afro bois
Bruh
I remember playing back in the day (2000-2002) when Habbo was still Hotel Kultakala. Good times.
6:35 Unappreciated pun
4chan is fucking evil and EVERYONE on there should fucking die in a fire
Removing player collision was a pretty inspired tactic.
Shame the devs are so racist.
Sign simply says "Pool's Closed" with a picture of a dude in an afro.
"IT'S RACIST HOMOPHOBES OUT TO RUIN MY LIFE!"
me at 0:57 standing behind the duck statue. "afroduck", as we called it
String rays with aids?…STING RAIDS!!!
"We require Blackup!"
Pool has aids, jacuzzi has Hep C , FootBath has herpes. DONT GO NEAR THE WATER
I love that boomers not understanding a meme can cause a company to lose millions
Will the media ever stop calling online pranksters hackers? What are they hacking?
3:33 oh god it's my evil twin
How did they go from people making a meme to homophobic racist hackers
Channel 4
Song at the beginning
i have never heard of any of the topics from your videos.
"…and then there was a communist revolution"
Every single mother fucking time!
I remember trying to change my image to the black guy and tried going through the blockade. But they didn't buy it.
This is an ancient and powerful meme. It has not been touched for sometime….
She's not even black?
"Now the pool was filled with AIDS and stingrays … "
Half a cup more of chlorine would have cleared that right up.
The diseases here protect your children
oh frick this is a deep cut
"These were the brother's darkest aids"
If you think about it, it probably got a few actual public pools to test their waters more thoroughly, so a meme did help.
Goyis
2:57 WHERE IS THIS FOOTAGE FROM???
8:45 awwwe man. “Richard Burnish” I miss that stream
Can't believe this meme is so old
This is so fucking funny! <3
I missed so much stuff
I was born around the time this meme started so this is new to me
I’m curious if there’s still people blocking the pool
Amazing
Lifeguarded during this time. Best years of my life.
As I watch how polarized we become each year online I ask myself, "Where has my net gone?!"
P O O L S C L O S E D .
Interesting that a metric ton of shit posters were almost thwarted by a boomer
“They are ridiculing me”
Not everything is about you KAREN
Good video but you left out that the event was created by anonymous
I have been sent from the future to close the pool LMAOOOOO
I love how creating a meme or massively trolling brings the internet together
God the media needs to learn what hacking is.
Probably watched this a handful of times and I still get some autistic shivers. Loved all this old internet shit that would just be labeled as "racist" or "alt right" because some people are fucking around.
Thank you dad.
*Quackity has entered the chat*
Someone fill me in im halfway through and still fucking bewildered.
2:15 This guy is one of the writers of Game Of Thrones lol
I miss Habbo, it was a good time, man.
I don't know if it was a mistake or this actually saved me: last time I went to the pool I took a friend with me; we added for the pool … for a couple of seconds. I was swimming and my friend was standing still. Then he told me he was pissing.
I got off the pool and went home.
Anyone know where the footage of the bois strutting in unison up to the door is from? I feel like that clip is gonna come in handy.
6 years ago and I missed it! 😢
6:17 the fact the gingers are james holmes is making my sides fall off
Anyone know what the clip at 2.55 is from?
The fact this happened in 2006, when the internet was not nearly as big as today fills me with pride i was around back then.
Lmao wtf needs a second person to laugh to tell a joke.
This brought back memeories. I remember arguing with these guys in my naivety. If only I joined them.
Young me wondered why Verona Pool was closed due to "AIDS"
why are there so many black men with big afros blocking the pools in habbo hotel i just want to swim
Ngl, old lady put up a fight
Altorfer
HOW, how did a meme got so much out of control, the Internet is amazing and insane at the same time. God what a time to be alive 🙂
Trust me, I'm sure way more than 2 people were laughing.
"A group of hackers"
"Racist hackers using digital black face attacked a childrens game"
BROTHER I AM PINNED HERE!
finnish online game gets /b/tards troll around US to close all the pools.
Bune laaa

Control the memes, control the world.

"I have been sent from the future to close the pool." Logic and reason did not get through to this woman.
