A viral photo of a "demon" from Arizona has people around the world wondering about the mysteries of our universe.
Are you freaking kidding?
Reportedly, Phoenix resident Richard Christianson snapped the picture while in Tucson, then loaded it to his Facebook account on New Year's Day.
"What the hell do you see in this picture for reals ??? Anybody," he wrote in the caption. He has since deleted the post.
This is what passes for "for reals" news in an age when "fake news" gets so much attention. While people ponder whether Breitbart.com or DailyKos.com should be considered fake news sites, so-called legitimate news sites continue to run bogus stories like this one. Nearly all news outlets covering this scoop pose the question breathlessly to their readers or viewers: Is it real?
To give but one recent example, The Christian Post, a popular Evangelical Christian news site, ran the story on Sunday with the headline: "Angel or Demon? Social Media Users Debate Winged Figure in Arizona Photo.
The photo has been shared thousands of times over the past few days, the "news" covered by local and international sites including various Phoenix TV news stations, KTAR (92.3 FM), and many others.
"Whether someone actually opened the gates of Hell or if it’s photoshop we may never know," blared a January 4 USA Today story.

Looks like a badly landscaped tree of some kind :)
Or you in a costume.
Statue or some photoshop trickery
Idiots watch those ghost shows on TV and believe that nonsense so this is not surprising.

You do know that many Mexicans would find this very easy to believe, yes?
Illegal immigrants more than likely.
Democrats protective species.
They are Desperate for hope that there is something after this.
Reading the bible would probably aid in their decision more.
I’m not saying it would or should change their beliefs, that’s up to them, but it’s a heck of a lot better than relying on those shows on TV who laugh all the way to the bank.
Funny thing too. Science and physics play a big part in my belief.
Amazing how most scientists are atheists.
There actually are real demons in the world.
They are also sometimes referred to as democrats/liberals/communists/Marxists/socialists/progressives...etc etc
Guerilla marketing for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion show.
I think you hit the nail on the head. When the electric company does tree trimming around the overhead wires this is exactly the look they end up with .. They are true wood butchers.
It’s Moth Man.
It’s just a somewhat shabby queen palm that hasn’t had enough water.
Short trunk, some “boots” aka leaf stubs hanging down, and the usual set of long arching leaves extending radially from the center. They have leaves kind of like coconut palms but the trunks are not as graceful.
I didn’t know that. Interesting.
Is this the same guy who shoots, big foot, UFO’s and the Loch Ness Monster? About the same quality work.
That is one crappy web site....
Their crown is typically not very full until they mature [esp if they aren’t fertilized and irrigated] so they are usually planted in groups of three to make up for it and make them look shaplier at the top.
This queen palm in the fuzzy picture is by itself and probably only has 4 or 5 mature leaves. Also looks to have been hit by a passing drunk driver as these usually grow straight up with no graceful sway.
It’s just another anti-Trump liberal. You can spot em a mile off.
