Buzzfeed Scams Readers with Bizarre ‘The Notebook’ Event Hoax (18 Photos)
1
Earlier today, Buzzfeed reported on a busted 20th Anniversary Celebration of The Notebook in Akron, Ohio, eerily similar to viral event fails like Willy’s Chocolate Experience and the Bridgerton Ball (you know, the sort of stuff that garners lots and lots of clicks).
In the AI-assisted hoax, Buzzfeed claimed The Notebook event organizers promised “historically accurate costumes, prizes, a VIP photo booth, and more” but delivered a wretched cavalcade of busted decorations, thrown-together activities, and ugly photo ops.
The made-up story included a faux flyer listing $300 ticket prices accompanied by fabricated images of the event.
ATTN: This article contains spoilers for The Notebook.
