I’ll be darned, I am in total shock.
It seems that both Beyonce Knowles and Nicole Kidman died today. That’s what the emails said.
What emails? The ones I got earlier.
Wait a second, what do you mean by “spam”? You don’t believe everything that’s being discussed on the Internet? The headlines and the descriptions of events – it can’t be! It’s on the Internet so it has to be true!
Unfortunately, there’s a misconception that most people’s intentions are good. That every bit of information shared or released on good old “Information Superhighway” is accurate, true and correct.
So how do you deal with every bit of misinformation, particularly the malicious type? How do you handle the rumor, the false news, the alleged truth that is in fact a lie?
They say it’s hard to prove that you’re not a dog on the Internet – but at least, you can be a dog that bites back.
Bite back with facts.
That’s the only way that works. When bullshit is piling up, get your screenshots, your numbers and your arguments ready for the debate that would ensue.
And then, bite down on those other dogs, really hard.
your headline scared the crap out of me 🙂
Mike 😀 I received at least 3 emails today, each with a different celebrity name and “…died today” after it. It’d be odd if they all died on the same day.
Might be to draw attention to one of these dead or alive sites- I am told people spend hours on one- perhaps not this one I have a query out

Must be one effed up airport in Dubrovnik
Owen, you might have a point. Sounds like a solid strategy to drive traffic to such destinations 😀
So far, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z and Angelina Jolie were all proclaimed dead, according to the emails I received.
Mine said Gwen Stefani died. Not a very effective piece of spam, I thought she died years ago 😛
Michael – Gwen is of the undying zombie celebrity kind 😀
