Will Smith : Not Dead
Selasa, 31 Mei 2011 by Android Blackberry
Meanwhile, on the other side of the fake stories about celebrity mortality spectrum, Will Smith has been killed by the Internet--specifically by a story from FakeAWish.com that claimed the former Fresh Prince had fallen to his death from a cliff in New Zealand and was circulated far and wide on Twitter, where phony stories like this one can blossom like a million 140-character weeds. He's alive, although. Oh, and there is a funny component! (Aside from the New Zealand coincidence between this item and also the Tupac one, which possibly speaks to the truth that the persons perpetrating these hoaxes are massive nerds for the Lord Of The Rings trilogy.)

The "cliff" in question is Kauri Cliffs, which seems to in fact be the name of a five-star resort and golf club in New Zealand that is beloved by Conde Nast Traveler.* Although that hasn't stopped it from e-killing well-known men and women like George Clooney, Tom Cruise, and Jeff Goldblum in recent years! Given that this hoax happened pretty significantly proper at the beginning of the Internet's summer, I'm going to posit that Smith will not be the last celebrity killed by the death-obsessed hordes of bored folks on their computers over the next couple of months, or even the next couple of days.
* I'm often loath to believe Wikianything as a source, but there is no picture of "Kauri Cliffs" within the Cliffs Of New Zealand gallery and Wikipedia's only citations of the place involve references to golf courses. Also, in case you had been wondering, "kauri" is a truly, really old wood
