Well, let me explain. Or rather, let the wikipedia explain:

Fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) is a sales or marketing strategy of disseminating negative (and vague) information on a competitor’s product. The term originated to describe disinformation tactics in the computer hardware industry and has since been used more broadly. FUD is a manifestation of the appeal to fear.

The term is also used when politicians tell us that the terrorists are everywhere, because if we are fudded (is that a word yet?) enough we will agree to anything. Needless to say that mass media have a long history of fudding around, because scares make for good rates. penny Arcade posted a pièce de résistance* which will sent you packing because after you have seen it, the only place you want to live will be Bavaria**. If you don’t have the time here is the abstract from the pA-post:

While driving on the highway, a child molester who is also driving might look into the back seat of your car and see your child using their DS back there. According to this terrifying report, the child molester can then - while driving their car - produce a DS of their own and utilize it to divine your home address. You will recall that he is driving on the highway at speeds approaching sixty miles an hour. One hand is on the wheel and the other is managing the gearbox. Thus, there can be no question.

He is entering these messages into the DS with his erect phallus.

* Yes, I looked that one up. It means “Glanzstück”.
