Real or fake? I am undecided. Still, hilariously terrible facebook drama, either way.
Fake- you can see his name under the "blackout" and when you go to his fbook page there is this comment from him "Austin Knill: And so many of them are faker than Sara Hartly. And Do whatever you want with the image.
Yesterday at 12:23pm "
Makes me think of when Torrez' girlfriend tattooed his name across her shoulders in big gothic letters. It was fake, but funny. I think they are married now.
Guy says "been dating for a little over a week" then says the breakup "has been a long time coming" ... girl says "why are you always trying to cover me up" (always? little over a week is not a lot of "always") ... sounds like the hoaxers couldn't keep their facts straight.
The language was too .. adult? Or not suitably truncated for the texting generation. And one "character" says "dat shit cray" and "this is the type of story that sticks with you for your entire life... thank you..."
And if you were wondering about the links in the thread: the YouTube link is Adele's Rolling in the Deep, the Blogspot image is a picture of David After Dentist with text saying "IS THIS REAL LIFE?!", and the DeviantArt pic is a generic pic of the Che Guevara two-tone image. In case you wanted more information about a (most likely) fake story.
I loved it, thought it was very funny. And sad to say, given that people are determined to find "the one" on eight weeks of "reality tv", I think someone would be dimwitted enough to actually do this.
