HOAX - 'Mother Suing Marvel Due to Son's Spider-Man Death Jump'


Posted by: Timothy Tibbetts on 05/26/2014 06:00 AM [ comments Comments ]


If you see a 'new' report about a kid committing suicide by jumping to his death from the 6th floor after becoming obsessed with Spider-Man, it is a hoax.

The headline will read something like 'Mother is Suing Marvel For $50 Million Dollars After Son Died Jumping Out 6th Story Window After Watching 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2'

It started from a fake news site called Huzlers.com that really does nothing more than post crap on Facebook. I mean this page defines crap. Luckily, they only have 57,000 likes so please don’t become one of them. It’s not exactly The Onion. Other so called news blogs and websites have republished this as true. The photo used in this ‘news’ article is actually from Asiantown.net where a man tried to commit suicide but landed, and was saved, by a pile of garbage as seen in the picture below.
