These guys post stories for the sole purpose of getting people to share on their social media. They are sort of a Anti-Snopes. One person shares is, and suddenly it's a real story. A couple of my friends fell for the Marlboro story.

A sampling of their news releases:

This one seems plausible. I'm not being sarcastic, because crazy people like this do exist.

This is almost certainly something that has actually happened in Florida.

In fact, I could believe most of those actually happened in Florida.
 
I was watching one of those daytime courtroom shows where a woman was suing someone that sold her a dog. She claimed the dog was gay because it was humping her other dogs and that she was a Christian and didn't want her children subjected to that sort of behavior.

I found my son lying the bathroom floor with feet on the wall belting out "Strummin' on the old Banjo" with his penis in his hand.
He was 4 at the time.

But still...

Ahhhhhh! Good old friend of a friend tall tales, AKA foaf tales. There are actually a number of books examining foaf tales and commenting on the phenomenon. 15 years ago, I even subscribed to a journal studying this. Now with the internet, I shudder to think how many new tales we can get and how fast they can now spread. Not to mention with radio programs like Coast to Coast (Kook to Kook).
