  • In June 2019, a number of social media users started sharing an old satirical article from the website There is News about a trapeze artist with diarrhea who reportedly defecated on 23 people at a circus in Spain: This was not a genuine news story. This story was originally published by There Is News, a website that carries the tagline Not Real, but So Funny, in March 2019. A disclaimer on the website explains that There Is News is a humor site whose purpose is entertainment and that the content on the website is fiction and does not correspond to reality. The image featured in this article also doesn't show the Belgian Circus. It is available via Wikipedia where it is presented as if it shows Trapecistas en Circo Americano. The image available via Wikipedia does not blur the faces of these trapeze artists (most likely because they weren't involved in an embarrassing diarrhea-related incident): This isn't the first time we've encountered feces-focused satire. In October 2014, we addressed a photograph that supposedly showed a cheerleader suffering an embarrassing accident as she was thrown into the air. (en)
