Has anyone seen this meme going around?
It's apparently making the rounds on social media sites. I was unaware at first, of course, because I don't do social media. Anyways, it seems a lot of people are actually believing this. I found out about it because an acquaintance told me about it and how 'spooky' it is. And he was dead serious.
I'll admit, at first glance, it seems plausible, and just creepy enough to be true. But then you have to stop and think about this a moment. Aside from the fact that Halloween doesn't even date back 666 years, Halloween, (Oct. 31) can never fall on Friday the 13th, for obvious reasons. Apparently, this fact is lost on people in their haste to accept anything they see in their facebook feed as authentic.
My point? I think social media is making people more gullible and less likely to think things through on their own.
What are some of the most bizarre and flat out wrong memes you've seen online that others accept as fact?
