The Mason City Walmart had part of its roof collapse this morning during a storm. No one hurt, but store was evacuated.

So I've become that guy on Facebook who calls out and posts links when people share those stupid things meant to look like news or informative posts but are actually just blatantly fake and not true. Does that make me an ******* or a world savior?
Depends. If the misinformation is harmful, or if I believe the poster has not recognized the info is from an Onion-like website, I will either post a link to Snopes, or point out the nature of the source. Don't know if I'm saving the world, but at least I'm doing my little bit to keep people I know & care about from making the world worse.

I use Snopes as well. It's not Onion fake. It's made to deliberately mislead people for whatever reason. Like the big one that was going around that if someone throws eggs on your car window to not use wiper fluid because it will turn milky and you can't see and a gang will rape and murder you when you pull over.
Honestly, most of the ones I see seem like they're made to terrify women into not even wanting to step outside.
We just watched a commercial that featured a blueberry farting. We looked at each other across the room and asked "did that blueberry just fart?" Can't even tell you what the commercial was advertising; I was so bemused by the blueberry fart.
there are some of those that are so sexist. Like the one about the gas station where the attendant keeps trying to get the female driver's attention by making her come inside so he can tell her there was a man hiding in her backseat. Fake and the men are the ones with power in the story - plus they have to save the dumb little woman who can't recognize her own peril.

I too have seen the tooting blueberry, and I can't remember what it's for either.
Hwy cowgirl, you gonna watch that one thing tonight that we arent allowed to talk about? On ABC at 6:30?
got it all drafted.
Honestly it's more probably that CJL doesn't want people scouting things but it sucks for fans who can't attend the games.
I'm down with the whole "I trust Fred" thing, but how wise do you suppose it looks for a dude with a heart issue to endorse the walking cholesterol machine that is the Hoiburger?
someone is claiming that he said he did it on purpose over his radio. I mean hell, that makes more sense than "I thought I was clear" when he rammed him three feet up from the goddamn bumper.
