An internet hoax hits a new audience again six years later! Rumors rampant on the net that the People Sexiest Man Alive, Johnny Depp, has died in a fatal car accident seem to have stemmed from a weird cut’n'paste created a few years ago and posted on the then-popular Angelfire user’s page. Angelfire was a precursor to easy site-builders like WordPress.com, hosted through POP email provider and search engine, Lycos.
The body of the fake article [show below] reads:
“BORDEAUX, France (CNN) — Johnny Depp’s car was found along side a road outside Bordeaux, France, with the guard rail embedded deep inside the car.
A tourist was driving down the road when he saw a car wreck alongside the road. He stepped out and tried to see if anyone was in there while his wife dialed the police for help.
To his dismay, he found the a body in the car among liquor bottles.
The police arrived at the scene shortly after and pulled out the body of the former actor, Johnny Depp.
The police suspect that alcohal was the cause of the accident.”
The article then continues on to discuss the British navy, a clear indication that the image had been pasted. Whew! *VIA GATHER.COM*

Its so sad that people would sit around and make up lies about ones death. I want the originator of this hoax to do something that doesn’t involve fucking with Johnny Depp or fake death stories. Johnny Depp, in my opinion, is one of the best actors around! He is currently preparing to film “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” the fourth installment in the film franchise.

Skip Hop Studio Diaper Tote Tote is awesome.So quite a few wallets – and not really these little, worthless pockets, either. All of the storage compartments are a good dimension and actually support maintain everything organized. The handles are a excellent length and fit nicely more than the actual shoulder; the tackle straps additionally stay place on my arm, which is actually vital when you are transporting a newborn. The tote appears excellent, too. Not as well fancy, but not too casual. (I have it in black) The material is soft (can’t feel of a much better word) so it is straightforward to squeeze in to tight spaces – but yet it is sturdy. I have a Fleurville Lexi tote and I adore it, as well, but this tote is kind of inflexible. I think that Skip*Hop will grow to be my everyday handbag. It’s a bit substantial – so if you are not really in to significant bags this may perhaps be far better as an over-night diaper tote.

January 7, 2011 at 10:17 pmI don’t think everyone hates the Hulk. The Hulk (or at least the Hulk I remember) has a very limited intelligence, and the angrier he gets, the more out of control he gets. That may be why he ends up fighting so many of the other superheroes.
