 On May 25, 1993 and November 14, 2001, Nickelodeon, commonly shortened to Nick, got hijacked unexpectedly. No unaffiliated individuals were in the Nickelodeon broadcasting building that occasion. When the mysterious event happened, many were dismayed. People called the Nick headquarters about the incident, and the staff reassured them that they were at normal programming. The first occurrence happened on May 25, 1993, on the south side of the U.S. and the whole area of Canada. At 8.55 p.m., nearing the Nick at night block, the credits for Rugrats slowly fades to a red tint with the music getting more off tune and the text getting increasingly unintelligible. Once the credits end, a mangled claskey-chupo closing logo starts. The happy and joyful music got replaced with the described screams of the damned, and the logo looks melted and dripping with the text being claskey-chupo-to-opa-chuk-sock. It then fades to the Nickelodeon-Hey-Kyle logo, except the logo is red and warped. The text is also reversed to no-dolekin. It returned to normal programming shortly after a black screen with the text, Vini Satano. Many were terrified, and children were crying. York Times caught up on the problem and made a story relating to the incident. One parent stated, We're switching to the Disney Channel so our kids won't be scared anymore. Nick lost a great amount of viewers, but eventually got it back two months later. The second and last incident recording happened on November 14, 2001. The only things that made it stand out is that the occurrence happened in the northern part of the U.S., New Zealand and the eastern side of Australia. It also happened after the Nick Jr. block signed off for the day. After an airing of SpongeBob SquarePants, the most popular show on the network, The Credits rolled, a few seconds in, The Credits turned into a jumble of letters with incomprehensible music. However, words such as praise, ruler, and inferno are hidden in the jumbles and piles of nonsensical letters. When The Credits and the famous United Plankton Pictures incorporated closing logo starts, but it's red tinted, and the United Plankton text is replaced with Underworld in all capital letters. The music is again replaced with something quite odd, in which in this case, an almost ear-deafening high tone. It then switched to an empty Nickelodeon logo that lasted for six seconds before turning red. It then went to normal programming. Due to the network exiting the preschool block, more children were exposed to the traumatizing incident. Once again, parents united to make Nick lose more viewers than in 1993. It also took longer to recover the viewers they lost. This occurrence was the cause of one of the network's darkest ages in television history. Many people, especially the staff, were baffled at the situations that happened in both years. A majority of the U.S., Canada and Oceania believed that some supernatural force controlled the feed and caused the broadcast to switch to a described channel from the hell-bounds. They elaborated on the theory by the messages hidden in the 2001 incident and the Latin message in the 1993 incident. In an interview about both incidents in 2006, one parent stated, mentioning the 1993 incident. I switched to Disney Channel for my kids for one week. After that short period of time, I came back to check the channel, and the broadcast was normal, so I switched back. Another parent stated, mentioning the 2001 incident. I heard my kids crying. I checked up on them, and the channel turned out to be corrupted. After that, I never trusted Nick ever again. These both can be rephrased too, Nickelodeon is demonic. These incidents we covered are both one of the times Nickelodeon had a great fall and risen again.
