Glad to see no one fell for the Fake News of Laz being suspended!

Our office manager loves Laz, and this broke her heart. So we dug a little deeper. Crazy shit out there these days.
No, MLB has not suspended Lázaro Montes. [1] (https://www.instagram.com/p/DdFVFc_lNE7/)The rumor originated from a satirical/parody social media account (@mlbonfax) joking that the Seattle Mariners rookie tested positive for a fake steroid called "Bombandrolone" after hitting an absurdly exaggerated 4,744-foot home run. [1] (https://x.com/MLBONFAX/status/2097819793013317921), [2] (https://www.instagram.com/p/DdFVFc_lNE7/)

Montes remains active on the Mariners roster, though he did recently hit a real, massive 474-foot home run and dealt with minor hip soreness after crashing into the wall.

Look at all the people going "Fake!", "Fake news!", etc. like they just solved the Jack The Ripper case. It should take a human being literally less than one second to realize that they're viewing satire and long after they've replied they still have no idea.

If you look at it on your phone, and just read it? There are a lot of people that would buy into it. When it was first showed to me, on a phone? I was like WTF? But then realized it hadn't seen ANYTHING about it.

It's a weird thing to joke about, it does question how we digest information these days scrolling through phones

When I was on X, I used to comment on political posts and just make up the craziest things to screw with idiots, like James Monroe being the inventor of shock absorbers and Benjamin Franklin being the inventor of batting gloves, and people would think I was serious and would actually do research to debunk me.

My best zapper was when Ice T (the rapper who's on Law On Order SUV) posted that he was going out on tour, so I asked him if he was going to do only his solo work or if he was going to do his classic jams from "when he was in NWO" (for those who don't know, it was NWA and it was Ice Cube who was in that group). It was awesome enough that he replied "Wrong Ice dude LOL", but an avalanche of people corrected me so I doubled down arguing that Ice T shouldn't be ashamed of his time in NWO nor should he be ashamed of his greatest hit "Ice Ice Baby". And the morons all continued to believe I was serious. :D

Here's a good one. The white lib women are pissed and confused not that a mother killed her three babies but that the one guy that thought she should be held accountable is Black.

Just made me think of another time where I posted on a George Floyd thread that they should have buried his lawsuit award with him so that he could take it up to heaven. :D

My son was furious about all of this. Said if she was a man she would have fried. And I think he is right. I mean, woman would rather be with a bear than a man anyway. I guess that's why they are now OK with Men being in their bathrooms and playing sports with their little girls?
