Please do not post any hoaxes or urban legends again. Never post bogus “articles” without including disclaimers in the title, as we had to add to your title. Also do not post any such garbage in our News forum again.
Thank you.
When I posted it, I didn't know if it was authentic or satire or hoax, etc. I tried to cross-reference it, but was unable to confirm. Not knowing whether the story was too new to be sourced in multiple places on the internet, or if it was satire, hoax, etc., I stated in my post #1 that it should be taken with a grain of salt until such time as it could be verified.
Many hours later, when I got back to the thread, and it was clear by others' research that it was satire/hoax, I posted as such in my post #76.
I'm not sure why you removed my post #1, in which I said I was not sure whether it was real or not, and that it should be taken with a grain of salt until it could be verified. Removing my post #1 makes it appear that I intentionally posted a hoax -- which I did not.
