WHAAAAT!? We already planted a flag in the moon, and we did it first! IT'S OUR DESOLATE, UNINHABITABLE ROCK GODDAMIT! I do hope that President Obama will protect our territorial integrity, or is he just going to roll over and allow this blatant act of aggression?

But if the fake moon landing conspiracy theory is true, then does this mean that India owns the entire moon?

Didn't the Soviets pull it off first?  If so, we welcome our new Indian allies in our joint fight against Lunar Communism.

It only counts for real if you get a guy to do it. Still, even though it doesn't count since India only sent a probe, I think it's rather poor diplomacy on their part to probe our moon without permission!

probably not, as the probe did not perform a lavish song and dance sequence Wink

If indeed that occurred, the man who sings Girly Man would have been cast as Neil Armstrong.

It didn't so much as metaphorically plant a flag on the moon as in the moon- this thing was just intentionally into it.

Yeah, kinda more along the lines of "India crashes flag into moon."

Sidenote: Now that Bombay is Mumbai, should we call Bollywood "Mullywood?"

Excellent point. Or the retards should just change the name of the city back to Bombay. I hate the name because they based it of the name of a local goddess yet the real reason they claim is anti-colonialism. Bombay was never ever called Mumbai so that is patently ridiculous. It was pronounced Bambai( and it still is btw) by the local population so I would be ok with it if they changed it to something like that but Mumbai just came out of nowhere. Same with Chennai(Madras). That one is out of left field as well. Kolkata(Calcutta) and Bangaluru( Bangalore) make much more sense since it helps outsiders pronounce the name of the city like the locals do.
