I decided to run a little fake news experiment yesterday. I was unsurprised but disappointed its been a top post without anyone noticing.

The video is from 2014 when the Seahawks won the superbowl.

The second video I posted later in the thread about riots in British columbia was a news report that clearly stated it was caused by the loss of a hockey match in 2011.

What initially was me trying to prove the point that people have rioted worse, for dumber reasons. Has turned into a good lesson to check sources.

You got me. I dont watch riot videos. They're disgusting. I upvoted it anyway because you were the source. It's not your normal pattern, so bringing it up made me think it might have been important to you. I'm pretty strict about sources everywhere else.

edit: Good lesson about upvoting. People selling their accounts to marketing companies absolutely happens. Upvoting someone out of habit breaks the purpose of the vote system.
