This fake news blog uses the same guy's picture! I started a thread on this a week or two ago. It's so sleazy.

What a tiny world. I opened that link and find the city in the ad is next door to me.

I have seen these type ads before too and they look really fake. Can't see anyone falling for this. The first thing I did when I saw a similar site years ago was to check the name of the newspaper - out of curiosity. It did not exist.

And Sicklerville is so small, it does not have a newspaper at all and is never referred to as "Sicklerville City."

I admit it is well put together. Looks good except for the goofy comments section.

Shame shame.

As I live in Singapore, it will show the word Singapore on the header. Just too bad that you discovered it.

Boy, am I an idiot. You mean the city changes with the viewer's IP address?

That's even more scammy and ridiculous.
