Dr Livingston, I presume?

I know this isn't kind, but it just cracked me up

If you check out this link you will discover that Dennis Hopper died; however, the picture displayed is of Dennis Farina. Clearly the editor is not a movie fan.

On the bright side, I thought Mr Farina's career was as dead as Mr Hopper, but in reality, he has some upcoming projects, according to IMDB.com

In this fast paced world of internet news, you have to expect this kind of blunder, I guess, but it does give me pause about accepting what I receive here as absolute truth.

The internet is a powerful force, and I don't want any single group governing it, yet it is kind of a scary capitalist monster that can reign terror over anybody with a chip and a little electricity.

What we as partakers of all this blather must do to be responsible consumers is to check and recheck before we spread the manure around.

Thanks to snopes.com and others we do have some fact finder sites that can help us reduce the amount of 'falderal' that we ingest and spread as fact.
