Sorry, my testicles are not for sale. Kind of rude of you to even consider it, too.

Does it bother you that the information they attribute to snopes is incorrect? Further more, should someone tell them that Cedric Moon at KGMB is not a very good researcher?
Wow. Just... wow. I don't know whether to be shocked, saddened, sickened, frightened... Do the people writing these stories not even read the sources??
Wow.

Why limit yourself to just one?
Seriously though: for casual readers, missing the word "False" near the top of the article in bold, italicized, red print is forgivable, if annoying.
For professionals working on a news story, it's disgraceful.

"Status: FALSO" significa que el tema del artículo no es verdad. Es una mentira. Totalmente falso.
Buen día a usted también.

Comment: In the article at Snopes.com/politics/gasoline/gasout.asp, there is an idea from a "Retired Coke Exec" on how to start a gas war between the Major Oil Companies.
What does "False" mean under the Heading: Status??

Yeah, snopes & Barbara, and while you're at it, stop adding any commentary at all. No one wants all that boring and obviously confusing follow up.

Comment: In the song Love Roller Coaster it is said that the model in the album cover has gone missing since the suppose confrontation of the model and the manager. If you can find any information, I would like to know more about where she is or if she is really missing. Thank you.

Comment: My question is the missing child, Ashley Flores, still missing. The page on your web site shows the Status: False. So, I was wondering if this is a valid missing person.

please reply
This one truly boggles the mind. I re-read the page in question. It says it's false. It explains why it's false. It has quotes from a newspaper article saying it's false. Short of having the word "False" flashing in enormous red letters while the Morriston Orpheus Choir sings the word "false" in four-part harmony to the tune of the Anvil Chorus, I don't know more obvious it could be made.
To paraphrase the thread title, what part of 'false' doesn't this person understand?

Comment: I recently forwarded some messages also sent to me bout Hilfiger which happen a long time ago then I got the rebuke by telling me to check the facts which I wrongfully didnt, confident bout the source before forwarding anything.
So was it ever resolved, the issues i mean if it were really true or not?

PS In the future, please check your grammar as well. And your spelling. There is an "a" in "about". And it's pronounced "aboot."

quote:Originally posted by snopes: Comment: How do I determine from your writeups what is a falsehood ?
I know it's a subtle thing and easily missed by the untrained eye, but I've generally found that when the article says "status: false," it's probably a falsehood.
It's little clues like this that I've found so helpful in determining whether the article is an urban myth or not.
Give it a try - you'll be amazed at the results.

I'm confused- is he trying to sell shit or a testicle? Or sell the testicle then shit?
Then again, that might be the reaction of a lot of men after losing a testicle. Right after the scream.

That's the problem, snopes. You've labelled it as "False", not "NOT." No wonder the poor bugger's so confused.
