“I Sea” billed itself as an app that would “empower the billions of us with smart devices” to do something about the thousands of migrants that have already drowned in the Mediterranean. For the last few days, Mashable, Reuters, Wired and others chirpily blogged about it, and why not? It sounded so impressive! Wouldn’t you want to “spend your lunch break searching for migrants who might be in need of help”? The app’s slick promo video promised to use “the power of crowdsourcing to help monitor the vast sea, and make the impossible possible.” Sorry, but “I See” did not make the impossible possible, because vile PR stunts rarely do.

A viral story too viral to be a story hit the internet two days ago when a 16-year-old “gamer” in Moscow “won” a month-long hotel cohabitation experience with a porn actress after visiting a gaming website.

Despite what you may have heard, some guy distracted by a passing hottie didn't just slip off a treadmill into a pushup position while someone coincidentally happened to be filming inside the gym.

A "social experiment" where a woman pretended to be drunk on Hollywood Boulevard while gross men blatantly tried to take advantage of her made the rounds earlier this week. As many suspected, the viral "prank" was entirely staged. The Smoking Gun broke the story.

Principal photography for Star Wars Episode VII has been underway at London's Pinewood Studios since location shooting in Abu Dhabi wrapped up in May. The next installment of Star Wars is not being filmed at Frankfurt Airport, but that didn't stop this fake, fan-made video from getting more than a million YouTube views.

This video of a Dutch reporter doing a relaxed lean right off of a dock (and the mayor she's interviewing haplessly trying to pull her out of the water with his fancy mayor-necklace) is a blooper so perfect it has to be fake.

So that thing you loved on Friday? Happy Monday — it's probably fake.

A video that began circulating late yesterday claiming to show leading member of the Westboro Baptist Church David Phelps, supposedly the son of cult founder Fred Phelps, being ambushed by an obese, birthday-suited Seattle rapper named Billy the Fridge quickly went viral because, well, who doesn't want to see that?

The Montreal-based design school where the ultra-viral baby-snatching eagle hoax video was created says it plans to use the money it made from YouTube ads to fund scholarships for "deserving students."

When that video of a Golden Eagle snatching a baby from the ground (yes, that video of a Golden Eagle snatching a baby from the ground) hit the web last night, everyone immediately accepted its veracity.

The internet has been freaking out over the possibility of a Justin Bieber sex tape since Bieber revealed that a camera and computer with his "personal footage" had been stolen.

If you think that Stevie Nicks is a bizarre person to weigh in on the Mariah Carey/Nicki Minaj American Idol feud, she'll see your bizarreness and raise you a murderous impulse. Pop music's most cherished witch figure seems to be the last person in the world who doesn't think Mariah and Nicki's public squabbling is a publicity stunt to court interest for the dying brand that is Idol, and that's a great thing because Nicks is saying ridiculous stuff as a result. Stuff like:

Is the Mariah Carey-Nicki Minaj back-and-forth a genuine feud or a ratings ploy? Neither, claim American Idol producers.

Is Nicki Minaj for real?

A school employee from New Jersey promised students that Lady Gaga would give the kids a talk about bullying via the internet. So she did what any reasonable person with absolutely no access to Lady Gaga would do after making a promise she could not keep: She hired a Lady Gaga impersonator!

Recently a video has been going around with the title "Russia in 15 Seconds." It captures an incredibly bleak picture of life in a poor village.. almost too bleak. Could it be real?

Two female bloggers were browsing ChatRoulette, an anonymous videochat site, and who should show up but the men of Jersey Shore: "lol were the cast of that shit. google search us." UPDATE: A cruel fake!

Having trouble doing...anything? There's a handjob for that.
