Pranks
They can be done by just about anyone. They are very easy to fall for and start to trend quickly. Many people believe anything they see on the internet.
Computer shutdown
This picture saw spread around and made people think that their computer was actually shutting down.
Shark Attack
This picture is not what it seems. A prankster photoshopped two pictures together to make it look like the shark was trying to eat the man.
Prank on Mets official song
The New York Mets set up a poll for people to vote on their favorite song for the Mets official song. People thought it would be funny to put the least likely song as the official song and the Mets were not happy about it.
My experience with an Internet hoax
The deer picture
A few years ago my dads friend started sending around a picture of a huge buck that he supposedly killed. However, the picture was fake and was not even from around here. Before long the picture had spread throughout a couple counties.
