It's so simple to pull off this "hoax," what's the big deal? Not to mention I'm sure nowadays plenty of Dads have gotten inadvertent and extremely embarassing texts from daughters. I bet The Chive was never gonna reveal it was a hoax, but then once it blew up in the media they had to. All kinda shady to me... This is stupid.

Perhaps its a double hoax to see if people will switch their opinions quickly. to me its just a funny story. lol on that note who’s to say it even is a hoax either, or a hoax by chive.

We can blame the news for not checking facts, but what about society that didnt even question it? Seriously.. after the embarassment of this happening.. who would go and take pics of the phone... and have them posted... i know people that cry photoshop for any cool pics are torn apart... but people need to at least question what they see and hear before getting hyped about it.

A great big game of telephone and it just keeps getting juicier and less factual as time progresses. Great Job at such a demonstration, people.
