Fatal car accident claims renowned entertainer.
Eminem is, of course, not actually dead. There are actual rumors of such floating around the internet as we speak:
http://newsnidea.com/10433/eminem-death-rumour-eminem-dies-in-fatal-car-accident/
http://www.inquisitr.com/33413/eminem-death-rumor-was-eminem-killed-in-a-car-crash/
Or perhaps it’s just a rumor of a rumor. Even Better! We don’t really care. We just crave stories like heroin addicts. If Eminem had actually died, it’s a fairly safe bet we’d all know rather quickly. And yet you clicked onto this link, just as I clicked on the original. Because it’s who and what we are. We are suckers, and will continue to be so……
This is something that happens nearly every day; Here are some of the more famous (or infamous) ones:
And there were more, Harrison Ford and Jeff Goldblum, to name a few. But things like this aren’t limited to celebrity deaths. We, the internet crowd, fall prey to some of the better hoaxes consistantly… here are some classics.

If there is a lesson to be learned here it’s this; we’re all pretty dumb, and proving so is usually funny.

So when is the funeral?
We fall for it every time. Excellent stuff.
if you do not forward this article to 15 people you know and love then one of your relatives will die in the next year. The author of this article put a curse on it after slitting his wrists he wrote the curse on his computer screen and so far 5 people have confirmed losing relatives. The curse will probably only be effective for the first few thousand people who read it as even curses powered through the spell makers own blood tend to lose effectiveness as the blood lust is satiated.
LMAO, brad. hey, I only clicked on it because you told me to.
I’ll be sure to send this on ehten. lol I love it, Mnof.
OMG mnof, you totally had me fooled!!
Are you reall y that desperate Mnofdichotomy? Disappointed!
Yep, I was suckered. I had a real ‘what, where have I been?’ moment!
Have they finally planted MJ yet? I’m actually quite tired of hearing about him at this point… :-\
You got me with this one Mnof x )
Anything with Eminem in the title always catches my eye. Also you topped it off with making sure it got in the hot content.
Damn you Mnof…haha…no only joking ; ) Just don’t play games with my mind again. It’s falling apart as it is.

I’m right there with ya cafftee….I thought, “how the hell did I not kno this….where in the world have I been” LOL, that was a good one.
I was about to pop up a champagne when i first read the news, i feel down, now that i hear it aint true …
Hilarious. Thank you for the good laugh this morning. Now I need my coffee!
OMG…I really thought that onion one was true!
You should read the article I did on Urban legend, just yesterday!
Great read x
I don’t feel suckered at all. I feel concerned and prudent to investigate what has turned out to be an ethical lapse on your part, however, that picture of the fairy made it all worthwhile to me (smile).
Hahaha, funny, how this article just grabs your attention. After jacko, this really isn’t what we want.
an ethical lapse? good greif. the article made a point. rather effectively, i thought. when i clicked the first time, i had that foot in my mouth feeling… what better way to share it than like this? pretty sure no one will suffer any long term effects here.
This is a shocker…. so many celebrity deaths lately. good story and the title is very catchy.
Shakespeare Is Dead! But
Yours Truly,
the One & Only
is still alive & kicking!
What is this?
I love it, very funny.
This looks like it would make a good case study of how many internet readers get their news simply by gleaning the headlines.
Catchy title, and although the content has nothing to do with the title, it was an interesting read.
Yep, i was a sucker and clicked on it. Good write never the less. And by the way, hercules is a big pooch.
Hey! I got a good one…did you hear about the…
i don’t even own an ipod and i’m damn surenot even going to use an onion and gatorade on anything electronic on mine even if i did have one.
.
good !
nah… it’s kinda not nice to be called a sucker you know… well anyway you did click on the original articles as you said so we’re all suckers… haha.
Those things are pretty cool though. I wish that onion one was real.
Funny.
Very Slick, Title got my attention, Keep it up, I like !
you are absolutely right in all that you said. I’m not sure if if is our curious nature or we just have nothing better to do than feed into the gossip that the internet gives to us. None the less it is still entertaining and gives someone (like all of us here) something to do and a way to make money doing it. Great article.
The title definitely caught my attention.
You made me look glad I did thought it was fab nice work !!
You caught my attention,I really thought he was dead.
You got me there, good job.

ditto on the attention grabbing, A sigh of relief, cute story, good job!
Rubbish. It’s sick if you need this kind of material to get into the hotlist.
I was actually dumb enough to check CNN ! Very clever marketing. We are all gullible to an extent. The media has us programmed to wait for the “big story.” Good write !
Great headline. I was convinced for about 3 seconds. Your right in what your saying though, look at how many people have commented and checked this piece.
RJ
my kids almost had a heart attack. good article
Naughty u pulling our legs like that!. However the other content made it worthwhile.
A Concerned Sucker x
ya got me
You got me too, I just now asked my husband did he hear that eminem was dead-you’re too weird, but you duped a lot of us smart farts! What am I doing in this world?????
What an idiot, is this your way of generating more views and earning money? Enjoy your reported article.
Hahaha Like it! Very clever :O)
hey gud one. check out some information about runescape members weapons. here is the link: http://gameolosophy.com/games/online/runescape/runescape-members-weapons/
plz tell me that did u like it or not by commenting.
Excellent.
I did not fall for it.
Eminem
I fell for this as i don’t know much about eminem but usually i don’t fall for things like this
I remember the day after MJ died i read an article saying that he died..
I didn’t believe that and after a couple of hours my dad told me that he died, he saw it on tv
starting out the article as you did with that title is doing no more than capitalizing on the stupid rumor – you might actually have something to say but that title is just as sick as the rumor itself …. won’t check out any more of your work
oh my goodness I totally believed you.
OMG – - you just totally freaked me out – - after DJ am – Michael Jackson, Farrah Facet, etc – - but, that title is not funny…
Blessings.
Sincerely,
-Liane Schmidt.
lol…he didn’t die….so everythings all good
LOL MY GOD IREALLY FELL FOR THIS I THOUGHT EMINEM HAD DIED! BUT I WAS WONDERING WHY IT WASNT ON CNN OR ENEWS
if you do not forward this article to 15 people you know and love then one of your relatives will die in the next year. The author of this article put a curse on it after slitting his wrists he wrote the curse on his computer screen and so far 5 people have confirmed losing relatives.

Got me! I was like how do I not here this before….Great job, you always know how to pull us in. You should write an article about how to come up with awesome titles…Keep up the great work.
wow, nice article. you sure fooled me. i’m new so any tips would be great.
Loved the article. You made me google for the Montauk monster and Derbyshire fairy. Thanks a lot. Worthy of clip and keep.
Excellent work!We really all do crave a great storu even if it does make us suckers.lol I liked the added photos,they made this so much more effective!
MJ is not dead! I saw him yesterday at Starbucks having coffee with Elvis! Hahahaha!
Very clever. Though am not an Eminem fan, you really got me.
wow what an attention grabber huh bet you made lots of pennies off this article crazy good idea though gottta admit.
yup this was a good one. but was misleading so it was also a lie. try being creative without having to be deceptive even though you did tell the truth in your article.
Your lucky this didn’t make the six o’clock news. Nah, he was just a rapper which are a dime a dozen. Good article that drawed a lot of attention with the catchy title. I’ve already got a title picked out for you’re next story, Hillary Clinton come home to catch husband Bill in their bed with Madonna. That would draw the readers in like flies. well done.
THE MEDiA ONLY DESiRES HIGH RATiNGS … ALiKE THE TiTLE, “EMiNEM DEAD @ 36″ VERY GOOD VERY GOOD
Be Careful What You Believe

Oh!
I am going to blow up the whole Royal Family of the UK next week.
Then, I am going to announce the extinction of the Sperm (whale).
After that I will probably pretend that Michael Jackson is dead – or something equally preposterous…..
Nice one!
I love the way that people have ignored your very important news and said…
Check out my >>>>>
Wow. i literally started hyperventilating. no seriously. don’t scare us like that again!!
u r a genious!!! You made some money on this didnt you?
You are totally right about that, we are suckers. Every one of those pictures I’ve seen and when I saw them I honestly thought they were real especially The Montauk Monster. And that scared me when I first saw that one on line in a e-mail. And I love your honest point our world is full of SUCKERS! We fall for anything.
Eminem is one of my favorite rappers, and when I saw the title of yours, I immediately clicked on it. You tricked us with your title. You must have gained more pageviews on this.
Don’t mislead people!
Good stuff
I like it, thanks for the smile
You are simply a genius. I can’t stop reading this article, ever since it was on the hot content list.
Huh, I liked it. suprisingly. Also, to Shark who said don’t mislead people….why not? It got people to see this magnificent artical
You made me look. Ha ha! I was about to celebrate. (LOL)
I read about the Derbyshire Fairy in the past, and I enjoyed reading the rest of your article. You truly are one good writer.
i agree with MT..
it’s called IRRESPONSIBLE BROADCASTING, by money and recognition GREEDY WANNABE journalists. anyone think it’s the greatest way to make money? just my opinion.
man u had me fooled
You got laugh out of me. Great stuff man
yeah, this was a brilliant article!
Genius…why the hell didn’t I think of this?
Kudos
Found your piece very enterntaing! For a minute there.I knew he wasn’t dead!
