It's amazing how people will fall for pretty much anything. A couple years back I posted a completely made up new item on April Fools day about something Stevie was doing and received hate filled emails that were just this side of being death threats. It was a simple joke but there were those Stevie fanatics out there who bought the post hook line and sinker and were REALLY pissed that I made it all up. The post had subtle clues that tipped you off as most great pranks do, but few caught them.
The internet is an amazing thing, it's SO easy to dupe people into believing pretty much anything.
