Not famous? Fake it

by Jamie Wilkinson | January 3, 2008

Peep the forum thread’s title: “ I’m ACTUALLY famous on the internet. (bhutto)

In the vein of such great react/respond moments as “Leave Britney Alone”, nobody forum-goer Tonay follows current events, reacts swiftly, and makes a Facebook profile for Bilawal Bhutto, heir to the opposition party of Pakistan. Instantly he becomes notable-ish: NYT, BBC, ABC, Yahoo. They retract after realizing many lulz are being had at their expense, approximately 10 forum pages of lulz. So much for fact checking. Remember kids:

If it’s on the Internet, it must be true
