This is an odd article that doesn't pull up any relevant hits on Google which might hint of a hoax. ⇒ Pickbothmanlol 03:42, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What on Earth is this? Google doesn't know this program, it doesn't know the "Mobius Lottery" the article references, and the article claims it has ran for NINE seasons! (Also, it claims to have produced 5,000 episodes. The mathematically inclined will note that 9*365 is only 3,258... so they're producing more than 1 episode a day, every single day?) Further, note the second to last paragraph says, "Due to Nathan's superpowers enabling him to fight crime as the CRIPTOCAT, all cash is given tax-free, since it is coming out of his budget." Someone is either having us on, or this is a (very-detailed) description of a fictional game that was written as fact. It just doesn't smell right. Delete it.

SuperUltraMegaAlmightyOmega Delete® An awful melding of both Sonic articles and lottery game show articles which somehow results in this incredible mess where someone has taken pieces of many game show articles and Sonic articles and turned it into...I don't know what to say, but crap would actually be a compliment. Syndicated on Mobius? Sonic serves chili dogs to the audience? A TV show has a concession stand? Knuckles playing Vanna White? And really, Tails as a game show announcer? I...I have no words. I don't even have a trout to the creator. This should be G3'ed because there's no way this merits seven days of discussion (it was speedied, but somehow was declined, so here we are).

Super Sonic Delete by Dr Eggman - I cannot find anything to suggest that this wasn't made up one day by a teenager (probably). DitzyNizzy (aka Jess)|(talk to me)|(What I've done) 16:19, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
