Believe It... Or Not.
from the Crying-Wolves dept
You can't believe everything you read, people. But why would anyone fabricate the life and weblog of a young (fictitious) girl with cancer? I mean, dating yourself because you can't find anyone else is understandable. (ahem) However, if you're going to create a fictional person, at least give people a happy ending. Or come up with something better than just killing off your altered ego. I'm just waiting for a hoax of a hoax where we all find out that the whole story about the hoax is really just an urban legend....
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
