In February 2016, a story appeared on a web site called Empire Herald that claimed a couple, high on Crystal Meth, had attacked and partially eaten a homeless man in Central Park: The scene would have been ghastly and horrifying, if it was real. However, Empire News is one of the many satire clickbait sites whose outrageous stories are passed around by the trusting or the credulous. Other recent headlines include: Woman Morgue Worker Arrested After Giving Birth to Dead Man's Baby, Babysitter Discovers 'Clown Doll' in Kid's Room Was a Real Person, Raping the Child at Night, and Man's Penis Gets Ripped Off After Attempting to Rape a Pit Bull. There is no truth to any of these stories, which appear to have been gleaned from other satire sites.
