Steve Irwins remains to be fed to his crocs - not a real story

She means it says right in the heading on the google search that it is satire, meaning that it's meant as comedy, and that is how you'd know right away that it's not a real article.

I did not type that in it is just in the title of the document.

Yes, that was the point. You immediately knew before you even clicked on the link that it was not a true story.

I guess we are all just saying you need to be a bit more careful about something like this before posting it as a news article. You should have seen the word satire and known it for what it was. Especially when it comes to an article that disrespects the dead.

Tell that to the idiots at Brainsnap - doesn't seem to bother them much although I guess we don't have to read it do we?

[caseysmom]

We shouldn't spread it for the idiots....thats all I am saying.

I guess Lori jus didn't recognize the word satire for what it means.

We know you didn't type it...the fact that it's there, posted right on the link, just means it is NOT intended as truthful news so it shocked people that someone would post something like that in the light of what happened to Steve. At least it's something to learn from, everyone check their sources before posting things as fact. And yes it upset people because many people care about what happened to him and now his poor wife and family having to deal with it, it was horrifying to read such a thing. You obviously didn't post it intending to upset people, but just be careful of your sources, good lesson for everyone. To me it's NOT satirical, in fact it's digusting that someone would make up that story and post it as a joke.
