"FAKE!"

Who Are They?

They like to think of themselves as the jaded skeptic in a world full of gullible sheeple, determined to be a flickering light of truth in a dark internet full of lies and fake viral videos. "No one could really fart on a birthday cake that way!"

Why We Hate Them:

The guys we're talking about here are the knee-jerk skeptics, the ones who take it too far. They have an automatic reaction to call "fake" on pretty much any video that shows anything remotely remarkable happening. They're not doing it in some grand quest for truth, they just want to feel smarter than the room and generally suck all of the wonder out of the world.

Shut up anonymous, that's not why people shout fake all the time. People say fake and photoshopped etc. because it's a meme, and far from feeling superior to the "sheeple" as you put it, they're just mindlessly repeating what passes for humour on this intershit.
So fuck you.

TheGabe: Different anon here. Saying something is fake isn't a fucking meme. People who call fake can't believe something can happen by coincidence (in this case), or just actually be true because it seems so unlikely. So fuck you right back at you, Gabe.

Not fake. Holy shit.

What trashy company do you keep that reads this crap?

ha i know this is a fake because i have the actual copy of this magazine... you can also tell its faked because of the blue border surrounding the michael jackson picture on this page. the blue border does not match up with any "style" of the page which therefore was faked or photo-shopped to make this possible....... i will shortly post the real picture, for my camera is m.i.a.

4 you're an idiot.

after a little search, looks real to me: http://popbytes.com/archive/2009/01/national_enquirer_back_on_popbytes.shtmlhttp://popbytes.com/archive/2009/01/national_enquirer_back_on_popbytes.shtml

http://popbytes.com/archive/2009/01/national_enquirer_back_on_popbytes.shtml

Its National Enquirer you retards....nothing is ever true on that

FAAAAAKE magazine. who the fuck has heard of the "National Enquirer"?

hahahahahaha are you an idiot, the national enquirer is a very popular magazine that makes up fake stories dumbass

we're aware of what the National Enquirer is...that is why it is unbelievable they actually did predict his death.

18 are you serious? Crawl out from under that rock and realize that National Enquirer has been sold in US checkout lines for like, 40 years. Get out of the house, a clue, or both.

To all the Fake revelers, I actually remember SEEING this cover and thinking, "6 months? I wouldn't give him 6 days."

Now to see it connected is just... creepy.

http://www.nationalenquirer.com/celebrity/65997 wow you can look things up from the source on the internet? Who would have thunk it?

who put on 65 pounds though?!?!?!??!?!??!

faker than my dick

dont you think they mean live, as in his live show, his tour?

the article about it inside is about him having a disease and dying from it. highly unlikely it's about his show

lol jesus people are so hell bent on proving themselves correct...dont worry 18...i got the joke.

13, we're still waiting for your "proof" that it's fake. I've looked it up through a few sources, and it's real.

Agreed with 28.

13 will not deliver.

no fake... check it
http://www.magazine-agent.com/the-national-enquirer/covers?c=1&cov=COVER0024664.JPG&pg=2

I LIKE PIE!

Fucking faggots it meants 6 months till he was supposed to go live in concerts...fucking idiots

http://www.nationalenquirer.com/celebrity/65997

To prove it's not fake you bunch of assholes.

Fake.

Who cares if it's fake, it's not that surprising.

I guarantee you, some magazine SOMEWHERE posted in February that MJ had "5 months to live!" and another that said 6 months! And one that said 8! The fact that it's the national enquirer does not make it such a statement any more or less believable.

It's a shoop.

I can tell from the pixels and from having seen quite a few shoops in my time.

WHO GIVES A FUCK?! HE WAS A FUCKING PEDOPHILIC FREAK!

Dude, it's probably six months to his live appearance.

LOL how the hell can you debunk someone who is yelling FAKE by posting a link to the same article... THE FUCKING NEWSPAPER ARTICLE WAS FAKE.. NOT THIS PICTURE.. ALL OF THEM..
stop linking like your proving something, the whole fucking thing is fake not just here, the newspaper prints bogus stories on PURPOSE so OFC its FAKE.. now did that cut it out in edible slices for you tards ?

no dude, not fake. i saw this on cbc. it was batboy.

39 is probably right.

It's the National Enquirer... If you believe any of the shit that comes out of this trash you need to be shot.

I have definitely seen many shoops, and this tops them all. The pixels were indeed very well done, but from reimaging and examining and cross-referencing the pixels, I can, without a doubt, say...



FAKE.


Is a shoop.

after every post i read in this i thought "no one can be stupider than this person," and as i read a new post i was proven wrong again, and again

simpsons did it

45 is the only grain of sanity amongst a desert of idiocy

Has anyone ever noticed that commenting on images, especially on this website turns from "huh... Look at that" or "that's cool, i guess" to "19, You're such a dumbass! I wish I could go to your house and shove this massive dildo up your ass!" Or "ANYONE WHO THINKS THIS IS PHOTOSHOPPED IS A FUCKING IDIOT WHO WAS NEVER LOVED AS A CHILD."? It's just fascinating what people will say to other people on the internet, especially considering they will probably never meet the person they are calling a dumb fucker who they're going to strangle with their own dick. You just know that these people would never go into public and actually say anything like that to someones face, because they're too much of a pussy. I just think it's funny. You know what else would be funny is if 97 other people replied to this comment calling me a fucker and wanting to shove their dick in my ass. because more than likely they have read down this far and don't even know what the original post was about

I cannot be sure.... but I think this whole conversation is fake and has been photoshopped. Also it is an EPIC FAIL, like the fail whale. I can tell by the pixels and from seeing many photoshops in my day. But YO DAWG I heard you like the National Enquirer, so I put a National Enquirer in yo National Enquirer so you can read the National Enquirer while you read the National Enquirer! CAN I HAZ CHEEZBERGER NOW?

Oh. My. God. The National Enquirer KILLED MICHAEL JACKSON!

Google it. There are several other articles (with comments)about how some guy speculated his drug addiction would lead to his demise within 6 months. Pretty crazy.

Fake, you can see where it's been edited in MSPaint.

48 you're really slow aren't ya? everyone has noticed this since the beginning of time, but thanks captain obvious. thanks a lot.

The magazine is fake, the story is fake, all the above comments are fake, this is just one big hoax.

Nice try guys.

@ 4
I seriously hope people don't start acting like he's elvis. It's bad enough there's a bunch of fat people in white spandex invading Los Vegas... we don't need a bunch of freaks pretending to be a pedophile. Or worse... NOT pretending.

@52.

Lol there's no way you could edit anything in MSPaint to look legit you dipshit.

i wanna know how to win 5000 dollars. or maybe its fake cuz its in the national enquirer. maybe they give you counterfeit money instead

Simpsons did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!rolfl

I JUST LOOKED IT UP AND ITS NOT PHOTOSHOPED ITS NOT FAKE ITS REAL!!! BUT ITS national enquirer ITS ALL BULL SHIT ANYWAYS

Digg It De.licio.us


THE ENQUIRER FIRST REPORTED JACKO HAD SIX MONTHS TO LIVE IN OUR JAN 12, 2009 ISSUE


Photo by: Splash News Online The ENQUIRER reported months ago that worried pals feared Michael Jackson would die in the next six months!

FROM JANUARY 12, 2009: Michael Jackson is dying - and has only six months to live, pals fear.

Sadly, the desperately ill star is bedridden much of the time, and his electrifying stage performances are a thing of the past, reveal sources.

Incredible reports surfaced in late December that Jackson is battling a rare, deadly genetic disorder and requires a lung transplant. Although the singer denied the reports, The ENQUIRER was told by sources that his health is deteriorating rapidly because of a crippling addiction to painkillers and alcohol.

A source close to the star divulged: "It's tragic. His condition is just so far gone, I'd be surprised if he lasts six months.

it says 6 months to live, like a live show, he was suppose to be putting on a concert right before he died

its a real picture of a fake magazine...

This is so fake. Does anyone know how to ejaculate from prostate stimulation only?

Punch in the upc code. Below the bar for idiots who don't know what one is. Totally different magazine.

Legit or not the six months to live quote is from Ian Halperin and was published in many articles starting in December 2008. Ian Halperin recently published a biography that had gone to press just before MJ died and production stopped to include MJ's death.

Obviously fake, Caylee wasn't poisoned

i think they meant 6 months till his live performance..?

If spongebob squarepants was a real person, i think i would be in love. slap my dick and call me grandma, motherfuckers!

dunno if anyone'll read this far down, but to the morons who think it means "6 months to his live tour," that makes fuck all sense, why would a 'family friend' be quoted in that context? as far as the rest is concerned, i really dont give a shit

fuck you all. get some pussy. and if ur a chick then go get on ur corner that noone passes

It's not fake, I remember seeing that cover in the grocery store.

Definitely shopped, You can tell the reflections are all wrong.

Just for the record, all these guys posting "FAAAKE" are simply trolls, and you're just feeding them, playing right into their plans. Learn to just ignore them :P

69 hit it on the head. Anyone who interprets that as 6 months till a live tour is completely moronic.

Or, this magazine picks a random "easy target" celeb and posts the same "6 months to live" crap every other month... it's not a hard thing to speculate on, and it's not like they can be too discredited if the guy doesn't die as predicted, he simply has a "miraculous recovery." it's not rocket science, it's tabloidery!

SIMPSONS DID IT!

Even though the magazine is fake the point is the surprise that they actually got something right. So for all you people saying it's fake... blah blah blah it doesn't matter, the whole point was how funny it was BECAUSE it actually gave some legit news.

FUCK THE RIAA!

Well that's ironic.

He was going on concert around that time, so they were meaning the other live?? just a possibilty

Totally Fake. The shadows are wrong as FUCK!

So are you saying that it has to be fake because a photo on the cover of the National Enquirer has been altered?

http://www.nationalenquirer.com/celebrity/65997

oh hey, look what i found...

fake

I am 12 years old and what is this?

I know what triggered Rosie O'Donnell's weight gain, ready...*ahem*...CHEESECAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And that, my friends, isn't fake!

First I would like to point out that The National Enquirer is a serious hard hitting factual news magazine on par with some of the top news sources like Fox news. Second the picture wasn't altered, so stop saying that. The cover was obviously physically altered before taking the photo. The pixels look wrong because of the conversion from bmp to jpg. Third, Micheal Jackson is dead and I honestly think the police should be investigating the reporter that submitted the article to the magazine. Please people let's keep this a serious discussion of the above image. What are we children out to get revenge on Micheal.

Anybody who thinks 6 months to live is referring to a live show should go back to school.

anybody else eat some mushrooms?

ya... he died of food poison from a six year old wiener.

similar to the fake meme http://xkcd.com/331/
some people may say fake or shopped or whatever because they honestly believe it, but many people out there do it as a trollish meme, as hyperbolised in the above xkcd.
