It's not true? After all, it was posted on social media - therefore it must be true! It's even safer than the papers, as it's run by the people!
Haha. Well 99.9% of the time they're bullshit. It's the racist shit that baffles / annoys me in equal measure the most. "Omg Muslims are trying to get us banned from our own country" source: some militant racist guy's obscure blog quoting something his mate told him down the pub .
Much of the social media is very fast paced, and there's little fact checking. I think the intelligent observer is able to draw his own conclusions, and although a lot is fake, stories like the one in this thread can be rather amusing. :p
