Russell Crowe and I are safe
Jun 10th, 2010 by admin
I wrote a story for WalletPop today about an Internet hoax that Russell Crowe (no relation) was dead. He’s not. He’s fine.
And so am I, although I used the same website that someone used to create the Russell Crowe hoax to come up with the same headlines if I were an actor:
- Luxury yacht sinks off coast of St. Tropez France, Actor Aaron Crowe reported missing
- Actor – Aaron Crowe Falls To His Death In Austria
- Actor Aaron Crowe hospitalized after traffic altercation
- Actor – Aaron Crowe Falls To His Death In New Zealand
All in good fun, and I’m safe. I haven’t even been to any of those places, although I may have driven through Fullerton, CA, where the traffic accident supposedly happened. And that’s not Emma and I in Austria in the photo above.
It’s all a hoax that the linked website lets anyone create with a template it has set up. While it’s tempting to fake your own death, don’t set up a celebrity for such headaches.
