On 24 February 2016, the web site Now8News published an article reporting that a Florida woman gave birth to twins in a coffin after she was buried alive by her husband: The report was reproduced across dozens of unreliable viral news sites after it was published: The story was republished by a number of Facebook pages in May 2016. Neither Now8News nor any subsequent reproductions of the story featured a disclaimer that warned readers that the casket birth tale (like all other stories from those sites) was completely fabricated. Previous Now8News hoaxes included reports that a man sexually assaulted a pig in a Walmart bathroom, aborted fetuses were ingredients of McDonald's Chicken McNuggets, Walmart bananas were contaminated with a deadly parasitic worm, a woman was found engaged in a sex act with a sausage in a Walmart, a separate woman was arrested for sampling tampons in an aisle at a Walmart, and a man fed his unfaithful fiancee's remains to her unsuspecting parents.
