"17 remain dead in morgue shooting spree"
A blurry image shared by the George Takei Facebook page showed an edition of the News and Observer that had a story headlined “17 remain dead in morgue shooting spree.” It looked fishy, so I went hunting for the source.
Turns out, Andy Bechtel already did the legwork:
So where did the fake N&O page come from? A Facebook friend points to the Brunching Shuttlecocks, a defunct comedy website, as the source of this image. If you happen to know more, please add a comment on this post.
Good job, Andy!
