I follow Southend News Network on Facebook and it is hilarious at some of the responses from barely literate morons who don't realise it's a parody account.

I was about to post similar. The Stanton tweets seemed to be designed to expose morons on both side of the political spectrum. Even after it was revealed to be a parody, people still wanted to argue/retweet. Twitter's an odd place

I was on the official Oasis e-mailing list around 95/96 and decided to have a bit of a laugh sending a few incendiary messages with what would be called fake news these days, from a fake email address (piss easy to do on Lynx/Mosaic/Netscape at the time) ... the only one I recall that really wound so many up was posting news that they'd be supporting Bon Jovi on their UK stadium tour

They didn't acquiesce and wanted me dead (or alive)

The Sun Releases Fake News Story About Vegan Baby

It's amazing how quickly the internet spreads made up news - scary.
