Weekly Hoax Post: Mermaid Eaten By Shark

by Christina Yeager


Every week there’s another hoax post that fuels outrage on the Web. We’re going to share them with you along with some lessons learned. It’s YOUR duty to spread the word, so that outraged folks can focus on the truly outrageous, like Madonna’s armpit hair. 

This nasty image of a human form protruding from the open gut of a shark is being passed around Facebook in droves. Why would you wanna see this? It's a mermaid! No, not really (hoax post, remember?).

**WARNING** A few of the following images are gagworthy and gross. Those with a weak stomach may want to turn away.
