The internet today was lit up with news that Lady Gaga was dead. The truth is, however, that she ain’t; it was just a marketing ploy.

There’s a formula for these new marketing ploys: make something newsworthy enough and reinforce it with enough forged corroborative evidence – like photoshopped BBC News screenshots, realistic clones of real websites (www.peoplemagazine.tk) and faked Yahoo questions and answers (answered of course in your favour)! And that’s about it – you’ve got a story….and a whole lot of traffic too Kudos to the Irish radio station 102-104fm

God I love the Internet.
