Breaking News: 7.0 Earthquake in Haiti

[DisturbedPervert]

 

More than 200,000 Swedes joined a Facebook group claiming to be collecting donations to help earthquake victims in Haiti before it was revealed as a hoax by the "Swedish Necrophilia Association".

Initially named "2kr per medlem till jordbävningsoffren i Haiti" ('2 kronor per member to earthquake victims in Haiti'), the group promised to send 2 kronor ($0.30) per member when the group reached 200,000 members.

However, charity-minded Swedes who joined the group thinking they were helping earthquake received quite a shock when the 200,000-member milestone was reached and it was revealed that the Facebook group had been created by a made-up group calling itself the Swedish Necrophilia Association (Svenska Nekrofil-föreningen).

"As many already know, it is the Swedish Necrophilia Association which is now sending 500,000 kronor to ensure that the bodies which are brought home from Haiti are in as good shape as possible," read the group's Facebook page.

The page also included many disturbing photos, as well as additional text in which the group described the types of bodies its members wanted to have sex with.

Although the group had more than 212,000 members by Tuesday afternoon, its membership tally dwindled as more people were alerted to the scam.

By late Tuesday evening, the group had been removed entirely from the popular social networking site.

In an email to the Svenska Dagbladet (SvD) newspaper, one of the founders of the fake Facebook group explained that the hoax was "to get a good laugh and teach people about critically reviewing their sources".

This only strengthens my beliefs about the Swedes.

Why did they think that joining a group on facebook would suddenly make any person send 400,000 kroner?

[The Brain]

No way those were the real SNA.

[Pat]

They've been doing this for quite some time now, they had these "First to 100 000 Sweden vs. Finland" groups and then they changed the name of the swedish one to a group denying the holocaust and the finnish one to "GAY PRIDE HELSINKI 2009"

It can be true. We need to send Alan Alda down there.

And BJ, Trapper, and Henry Morgan.

Did BJ and Trapper John ever meet?  I have a theory that if they were ever face to face, the resulting Sidekick Paradox would have devastating results on the spacetime continuum.

No. Unless it was on After MASH.

Hopefully they'll get around to doing something about the dead ones as well.

I hope they bury them far away from where they get their edible clay

No one would know, cause no one saw that travesty.

It's time to start burying the survivors. Much more compassionate than letting them live in Haiti.

That's such a huge number of victims, and not yet a final tally. So sad. Watching some of the news it seems that there are many mass graves, and it appears that in many cases there's no way to identify the victims.
