    That's their strategy to get visitors. Some of them uses fake title on the news but it has different content.

    Wow, talk about going to great lengths creatively to get a commission. I personally think that's pretty unethical, but i've seen stuff that's just as bad before.

    in order for something to go viral it has to be ridiculous like this sometimes.

    what is required is something that will be shared by people and something that involves emotion. this way the news will spread very fast. think of 9/11 and that within 30 mins everyone knew what happened, even if they didnt watch TV.

    i wouldn't take the article itself seriously... its all internet marketing
