| - In December 2015, a picture purportedly showing a dog that had been badly burned while rescuing a family from a fire started circulating on social media:
This image does not capture a dog who was badly burned while rescuing its family from a fire (or injured through any other means). The photograph shows a dog with a piece of ham on its face. While this may seem obvious to some viewers, several people liked and shared the above-displayed Facebook post as if it were a genuine item.
Stephen Roseman, the Facebook user who posted the infamous image, admitted that the story was fake in the comment section below his post:
People, people this isn't even my dog, I found this picture on fascistbook, stole it, and decided to use it in a prank to fool these religitards
So I did, and low and behold idiots left and right fall for it, and those that didn't, seem to think they have a superior intelligence or something, for pointing out the obvious
Keep in mind, I never told a single soul to like this, that is their choice, I don't give a f*ck either way.
The image, in other words, was initially shared specifically to poke fun at both the people who tend to share "1 like = 1 prayer" messages on social media sites, and at the people who would subsequently point out that it was a joke.
