Just like every other celebrity death rumor, this one is a hoax too. Somehow the hoax of West being involved in a car accident last night spread like wildfire, mostly thanks to Twitter. As of this morning, ‘RIP Kanye West’ was the #1 trending topic on Twitter.

And, interestingly enough, most of the comments weren’t sad. Guess everyone isn’t forgetting that VMA stunt any time soon.

Hoax or no hoax?

The balloon boy’s family is like Octomom: strangely attactrive and everywhere in the media. All this stuff about how the family wanted their own reality show is just…weird. They don’t strike me as interesting enough to hold a show for episodes. I get a little bored just watching interviews with them. Or maybe that’s because they’re constructing lies and aren’t being themselves. But I digress.

The only thing I do feel bad about is that they’re really piling on charges and it seems like a lot of them are BS. Do I think it was a hoax? Yes. Do I think they meant malicious harm? Nah. It seems like a publicity stunt gone way, way wrong. But I guess the law doesn’t factor in intent.
