this is great, love it how all these intelligent, credible, highly paid "news sources" don't fact check and a hoax goes completely viral, love it. Also, I know a chick who did that only she used the word "blowies" and sent her mom the text, it did not go well.

[...] Then of course, the rumour mill went into overdrive that the story was a hoax and just as soon as the it had been spread, the hype was dashed and the creators revealed that it had been a hoax.

I agree with you on this one… I did not assume anything sexual from the text. In fact, that's one of the last things I would have assumed with this message.

Over the years I've learned to question pretty much everything on the internet (or eMail forwards) that try to generate any kind of emotion (political rage, hate, awe, etc) — most are bogus or have some truth, but only enough to get you to believe the lies.

My biggest issue with this whole thing would be the sub-captions: "Roll mouse over photo, or else". Exactly what is supposed to happen when I roll my mouse over the photo?

This just isn’t very good. The text doesn’t even say she had sex and kinda indicates the 1st was something else as she is wishing a friend was there (weird thing to wish for don’t you think?).

Did the media really cover this? Just shows how boring our society is. Doubly so if the hoax story was covered too.
