  • Source: Netorabo[今年公開のSF映画「オデッセイ」のティーザービジュアルを改変して… ホラー映画「リング」でおなじみの貞子なら「70億人が彼女の呪いを待っている。」など… しかし中にはウソというより批判や揶揄(やゆ)の色合いが強いビジュアルも。米大統領選の立候補者であるドナルド・トランプ氏に「70億人が彼の落選を願っている。」と当てたり][“ This unofficial meme is a parody of the teaser visual for the sci-fi movie "The Martian," released this year… Sadako, the character from the horror movie "Ring," the caption reads, "7 billion people are waiting for her curse." … However, some of the visuals are more critical or mocking than outright lies. For example, one accurately predicted that "7 billion people want Donald Trump, a candidate in the US presidential election, to lose."”

@Miminity: Long enough, new enough. QPQ done and Earwig is clean. The article deserved {{copyedit}} but I resolved it myself. You asked for help phrasing the hook; 'firm makes promotional materials' is a bogstandard thing a firm does, but I can suggest ALT1: ... that Eiga.com withdrew an April Fool's Day prank mocking Donald Trump?, which I must ask for another reviewer for.--Launchballer 13:50, 2 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
"DYK a 2016 April fools joke went awry and led Japanese movie website Eiga.com to apologize to Donald Trump and Sadako?" Not sure about the picture though. Relatively new here so I don't know how DYK is impacted by non-free fair-use claims.Edittttor (talk) 23:54, 2 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
We can't use non-free content on the main page, and I wouldn't expect a broad audience to have heard of Sadako; the rest is my hook with excess verbiage.--Launchballer 00:02, 3 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Launchballer: Is it that interesting that X or Y mocked Trump? Sounds pretty bog-standard. Viriditas (talk) 19:52, 9 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
The interesting bit for me is that they withdrew it on a day designed for humour. What hook do you suggest?--Launchballer 19:55, 9 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
For me, the interesting part was the setup of the joke. It mocked both Trump and Hirotada Ototake, using the same idea: 7 billion people want Trump to lose the 2016 election and the same number were astonished by Ototake's stamina. It's frankly a pretty complex joke. The article doesn't say why it was taken down, which is likely even more interesting. Is humor now illegal? This is the kind of thing MAD Magazine used to do all the time, particularly with Reagan. Viriditas (talk) 20:24, 9 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
verified for ALT1. I think other hooks (like what Viriditas suggested) could be stronger but ALT1 is fine. No other hooks have been put forward yet and the nomination is nearing the WP:DYKTIMEOUT deadline. Cunard (talk) 08:49, 15 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
