I have crusaded for people to check what they read. Check 3 sources for verification. They say that the Internet is the Garbage Sale in cyberspace. You really have to check the source of anything you read. I had been teaching 25 years as the 'net made its way into our classrooms. I found students were willing to believe everything they read.
For example, for medical info ensure the writer has qualifications, or is connected to a university. The big thing now is targeting seniors, who are surprisingly active on the 'net.
There was a discussion, written by a US doctor, and their issues with universal health care has spawned some awful lies out there. Musings of a Distractible Mind. He has some interesting ideas, and a view of America that spawns interesting reader's comments.
This same Dr. has now hosted a haiku contest, but it isn't true haiku! It's really bad...
That said, there are some clever people who are marketing their products quite well. The group, Improv Everywhere, are having a grand time: webpage, book, Facebook Fan page, you name it!
Do you love lunch? They do! This is posted for fun!
