The Fib from Outer Space |
It augments human stupidity. You see, in the olden days (you know, like the 1970s), it was much harder to spread lies. You couldn't push a magical button that would send a chain email to 1,500 people in a matter of seconds. You couldn't share a bogus story on Facebook with 800 friends. Heck, you couldn't even text message. You actually had to talk to someone. Ew.

Wrong.
What's behind the pervasive tendency to spread total bullsh*t, anyway? It's not "being a responsible citizen". It's not "keeping others informed."
It's gossip. And spreading gossip, last time I checked, is WRONG.
Do you want to sound like a parrot on crack? Of course you don't.
CHECK YOUR HOOVER DAM FACTS, PEOPLE.
