Today Now! / Gymnast Shawn Johnson Put To Sleep After Breaking Leg

@Mimhotadosarcos95: Well, she's not technically dead. The shot from her dad's rifle turned her into a vegetable. Mother wanted to finish her off, but father objected because, and I quote, "I like vegetables." I'm surprised that you didn't hear about it, as this all went down in Rio at the 2012 Olympics.

wait...so she didn't die right??

this is such a f****** lie

wow i giv up on pple if they think this is real even for the first 20 seconds ahaha omfg

"its like loosing a friend" WTF arent they her parents?

lol "we never got to breed her" OMG LOL

I gather the not-dead Shawn and her real non-euthanizing parents were not amused by this video. It's too bad they didn't use the publicity to encourage people to make "memorials" to the Humane Society. Given that "Shawn Johnson dead" was, for a time, one of the most popular Google searches (I'm not kidding), they missed a golden opportunity.

@Pardonmysanity, Catfish: Did you read my other comments made here in the past 24 hours, you dopes? ;) This last one wasn't a debate, it was a critical thinking boost for those who could use it. Some posts by others were ironic, like mine, but others were genuinely puzzled. :)

r u stupid or did you not see that bretp99 wrote ohdeargodhowgulliblecanyoube . com as he was making fun of people who think this story is real. You didnt see that so you are kind of just as stupid as the people who think this is a real story

Oh really? Google said it was a hoax? Are you telling me that you have such little sense of satire that you had to "fact check" a fake story on whether Shawn Johnson was euthanized like a horse after breaking her leg? Even if you didnt know that The Onion is a fake news source you should realize that this story is fake.
