In December 2022, an old story gained new life online thanks to its absurd premise. It was shared in the form of a World News Daily Report article headlined Burglar snorts dried sperm thinking it was cocaine, contracts herpes and syphilis. This article, which has been online since November 2019, claimed that the burglary took place in northern Florida and the culprit was 29-year-old Jerry Smith. According to the report: This article is a work of satire and originated on World News Daily Report, a website that describes itself at the bottom of each page as assuming all responsibility for the satirical nature of its articles and for the fictional nature of their content. All characters appearing in the articles in this website – even those based on real people – are entirely fictional and any resemblance between them and any person, living, dead or undead, is purely a miracle. Other stories on this website include, Texas man admits kidnapping 79 people to anally probe them while disguised as an alien and Woman sues Samsung for $1.8 million after cell phone gets stuck inside her vagina. The dried semen story is reminiscent of (and perhaps inspired by) an old urban legend about a clueless thief who steals and snorts what he believes to be a box of cocaine, but it's actually the cremated remains of a dead relative of the homeowner.
