On 13 November 2015, the web site NewsExaminer published an article reporting that the Fappy the Anti-Masturbation Dolphin, a mascot for the Stop Masturbation Now Christian group, had been arrested for swimming naked with dolphins at the SeaWorld marine park in San Diego, California: While the above-quoted article was published in November 2015, this was not the first appearance of Fappy the Anti-Masturbation Dolphin (a non-existent mascot representing a non-existent group). The fake mascot of the fictional organization Stop Masturbation Now is a mainstay of the fake news site NewsExaminer (and their shill site, CBSnews.com.co) and has not only appeared in a number of their fabricated articles, but even has his own Facebook page and was the subject of a fake press release fake touting an upcoming Michael Moore documentary in 2013. Despite Fappy's frequent appearances on the Internet, the mascot is a fictional character created as part of an elaborate and ongoing hoax.
