This one was shared by a few people on my Facebook


Lots of "OMG Is this real?!"

I've seen a few Onion articles posted before as well. Some people truly will believe anything they read.

God, I wish I could remember what it was. It had something to do with Obama. This was a smart girl too, but she's stubborn and competitive and she probably saw it, noticed it confirmed her viewpoint, and then posted it without checking the site. It was hilarious.

The Onion is hilarious. They had a great Cal one recently with the Cavs stuff going on. But I've seen people totally buy them.

What's worse is the ones they've been posting from those "Daily Times" links that make some absurd claim like "Game of Thrones is Cancelled" or something like that. My feed has been flooded with that stupid shite.

I used to give my wife crap about passing on nutty chain e-mails... then came Facebook. She's a rank amateur. Just yesterday a "friend" posted a video demonstrating how 3 ringing cell phones popped popcorn (Imagine what they do to your brain!!!!). Not new and not believable, but there are a LOT of people out there who subscribe to "I saw it on the internet, so it must be true."
