Where gullible users believe "The Onion" articles such as :
"Scientists trace heat wave to massive star at center of solar system"
"Wolf attacks are leading cause of death"
"Dick Van Dyke Finally Confesses to Zodiac Killings"
"Judge Rules White Girl Will Be Tried As Black Adult"
(The court ruled a white teen will be tried as a 200 lb. black man)
Facebook
Where a gullible GOP Tea Party Congressmen named John Fleming (R-LA) believes
"Planned Parenthood Opens $8 billion dollar "Abortionplex"
And, (sadly, NOT from "The Onion" , Facebook, which states that
"Sharing any graphic content for sadistic pleasure is forbidden."
Yet, animal rights activists have been trying to remove Facebook sites that have the clear and intentional purpose of "enjoying" abusive behavior, including graphic content:
"Skinning Animals Alive"
"Inserting Fireworks Into Live Animals"
"Strangling Live Animals"
"Sexually Abusing Animals"
"Provoking Others To Harm Animals"
and "Animal Hate Sites"
At the Care 2 Petition Site, you can sign a petition to Facebook:
"Remove Facebook Sites That Promote Intentional Animal Abuse"
