Nothing but the truth is what most english speaking people automatically will fill into the dots. But this automatism is not so obvious for todays ‘news’.

With the internet each and every person in the world has become a publisher and can create his or her own news and even truth. As the amount of information grows more then exponential internet users need to train themselves in constantly evaluating the news or information they consume.

Did I mention the Surprise stripper in the Rumanian metro as a possible great campaign to promote the use of public transport in the end the stripping girl turned out to be a viral for a fast food chain. This week people in the United states are speculating on some sort of monster that washed ashore somewhere on the American coast at Montauk. (see google map at bottom)

But what does this information mean? Did there really wash a monster ashore?
If this is authentic information it is great for science. But in the same mindshift I can imagine that we are being prepared for the launch of a new campaign for whatever product, service or brand and this turns out to be a hoax or viral. Halleluja for human creativity.

You be the judge.
Do it yourself investigation is the way to keep track of the world where fear and fun are devided by the grand canion of human creativity and imagination.

Cross check this monster story:
- that started at: Gawker
- check where this monster fwas ound: Montauk at Google Maps
- And last but not least, judge your own image evaluation skills. Is this a real monster or just great Photoshopping?

It’s a beauty, but what do you think
