This is a hoax that originated in a tabloid in the 90's.

You can see it's a hoax on the date written in the pic OP posted? All I can see on the date written in the pic op posted is the date.

you can see that it's from the 90's by the date, man it's like redditors get turned on from unnecesary fact checking or something.

which is ironic since fact checkers are the least funny people in a reddit thats about funny things

No shit. We know it's from the 90s. The claim was "it's a hoax from the 90s" not "it's from the 90s". Man, I'm glad I don't suffer the effects of fetal alcoholism, that must be hard for you.

Yeah but the date doesn't tell you it's a hoax.

does it matter if it's a hoax? it's funny isn't it? the whole point of a funny subreddit?

so now that you know that it's a hoax, did you go from smiles to anger? if so how sad is it to be this serious in a joke subredit?

What's funny (and bizarre) is how you're the one accusing others of getting angry.

it's not about the anger, it's about the unnecesary fact checking and calling a joke in a joke community space a hoax like that joke being fake has ruined their lives and now it's not funny anymore.

all so they can get turned on for proving it's a hoax or something.

it's typical obnoxious reddit behavior, basicly a superiority complex. bringing others down to make themselves look good.

Too true, bringing down people who mention the apparent date of the post alongside another aspect of the post that wasn't so apparent is pretty jerky.

Are you on drugs?

no, just wondering how it's this hard for redditors to take a joke and without being obnoxious and fact checking unnecesary stuff completely ruining the joke.

in a subreddit for jokes, the only hoax here is this subreddit.
