It started last night when some chick retweeted an obviously fake CNN tweet: “RT @CNN: American recording artist Cher dies at 65 years old. Found dead in Malibu home.”

And then it spread like wildfire from there. It spread so fast that even a few celebrities got duped. Kim Kardashian was tweeting, “Did I juist hear Cher has passed away? Is this real? OMG” and “I hope this is a twitter joke and not true. I don’t see it on the news anywhere. I’m praying its not true…”

I’m not sure why people think this sort of stuff is funny. It’s sad that someone gets a bizarre power trip watching a lie spread. I always wonder who these people are that they have so much free freakin’ time on their hands that they sit around and decide to do something so stupid.

cher is not dead
