Today, fake news can be seen in almost any corner of the internet, weather that be social media, news apps, and even some websites! Many of these article titles are so erroneous that any person with the right state of mind would know that it was a hoax. One known fake news article called "MAN BREAKS INTO A BURGER KING AND DRINKS GALLONS OF DEEP FRYING OIL", was published by a website called WorldNewsDaily. The article contains a statement from the man that allegedly, "broke into a closed fast food restaurant and drank more than 25 gallons of used oil from the deep fryers". The article also contains a statement from the alleged perpetrator,Romeo Carter, who says, "“My wife’s put me on a tofu and raw vegetable diet, and I couldn’t take it anymore. I waited till she was asleep and went to the restaurant to get a couple burgers, but it was closed. I was starving and depressed, and I totally lost it.” This article was later proved fake by many people and is still up on the original website
