  • On or around 18 February 2016, the fake news site TMZWorldNews (formerly Celebtricity) published an article claiming a study indicated 80 percent of black men living in Atlanta were homosexual: Before Celebtricity became TMZWorldNews, the site featured a disclaimer billing itself as the most notorious entertainment website in the world, offering shocking headlines and a mixture of real & satire news in order to keep its visitors in a state of disbelief. Needless to say, the claim was an obvious falsehood designed to attract social media-based traffic; its assertion that oreo [sic] was one of the race demographics examined during the purported study was one clue it wasn't anything approaching legitimate. Recent TMZWorldNews hoaxes included a fake news item about a Satanic dungeon purportedly found in a Chuck E. Cheese, while Celebtricity gained viral traction by fabricating a claim Oprah Winfrey was pregnant. (en)
