Jon Bon Jovi is NOT dead!

Early today reports flooded social networks that Jon Bon Jovi had died. A few hours ago Jon himself responded with the photo above. Yet another hoax for people to fall for.

Every time we see a report like this we try our best to remind people to be smart about these things. Do a Google news search for the celebirty and narrow the search to within the past 24 hours. Maybe go to their official website. If you do not see anythign come up, it is probably a hoax.

 

How did they do it? Well, this is pretty much how they always spread these stories. First they create a automated story creator. Then they plug in a name... http://mark.carras.mediafetcher.com/news/top_stories/jet-ski_musician_turks.php  Click that link. See, I'm dead. Oh and also... Musician Journalism died too. http://journalism.mediafetcher.com/news/top_stories/jet-ski_musician_turks.php So very sad. Make sure to re-tweet that too. But make sure and let people know that Lita is actually ok. It's just me and that musician journalism guy that died.

 

That last paragraph was copied from a story I posted just a few months ago when people tried to say Lita Ford was dead. That story is posted HERE.
