What are Internet Hoaxes?
Internet Hoaxes are deliberately fabricated falsehood made to masquerade as truth. It is distinguishable from errors in observation or judgment, or rumors, urban legends, pseudosciences or April Fools Day events that are passed along in good faith by believers or as jokes.
Examples of Internet Hoaxes That Fooled Me!
Example #1
When I first saw this picture, I believed this actually happen. Silly me I guess I am guillable. Obviously a shark just doesnt pop up out of no where to eat someone, and I honestly believe they wouldnt lower someone down into a place where there could possibly be sharks. Also if this where to occur, it would happen really fast, not enough time to capture a photo.
Example #2
At first this looked realistic and then I began to think, if this were the real attack, how in the world could they capture a pic with the plane that close. That guy must of been asking to die if this were real. If I were this guy, even though I may not of had a chance to live, I still would at least attempted to save my life then just take time to take a picture, especially if it were my last moments on earth before I died.
Example #3
I was just flipping through images on google searching for a Internet Hoax and this one fooled me. I flipped back and looked even closer and noticed that someone drew the facial hair on the face with a marker. Lets be real, I have more facial hair than that. Pleaseeeeee! Its not hard to flip your hair up with jel and get a shirt that has the name Bieber on it.
