1. Sports Pickle

www.sportspickle.com

Sports-like news articles that are ridiculous and totally unbelievable. The site states its satire but if you’re a big sports fan you’ll love the articles.

2. The Onion

www.theonion.com

This is a site where news is twisted and turned upside down. Some articles may seem serious and believable, but most of them are very unreliable. There are so many different sections and articles posted daily. It’s surprising the amount of work that is done for news that isn’t even real.

3. The Church of the Flying

Spaghetti Monster

www.venganza.org

A site devoted to a religion known as Pastafarianism. Come worship the noodly appendages of the spaghetti and meatballs deity.

4. RYT Hospital

www.rythospital.com

A hospital that claims to have had the first ‘male pregnancy’, use nanobots to monitor patients’ status and many more silly practices. The site would at first seem like a regular hospital website, but more searching leads to the conclusion that the site is a hoax.

5. The Daily Mash

www.thedailymash.co.uk

The Daily Mash is like the UK’s Onion. It’s not as flashy and big as The Onion, but still provides some good laughs. Almost looks like a parody of UK’s news site The Guardian.

6. Dihydrogen Monoxide

Research Division

www.dhmo.org

This site has research on one of the most prominent chemicals on our earth and how it can have dangerous consequences. Many people misunderstand the consequences of this dangerous chemical. They also misunderstand that Dihydrogen Monoxide = H20.

7. Ninja Burger

www.ninjaburger.com

A burger delivery service that will guarantee you delivery in 30 minutes or less, no matter where you are. It’s delivered by ninjas, so you can always count on them to be there when you least expect it.

8. Sokoblovsky Farms

www.petitelapgiraffe.com

This is one of the newest hoax websites. It’s actually a viral campaign on DirectTVs part. It relates to their past commercials featuring the small giraffes. The site even has a live stream of the giraffe. Obviously fake. There is really no such thing as a miniature giraffe.

9. First Genetics

www.firstgenetics.com

A genetic research site that has trained a monkey to type on a keyboard…supposedly. You can even ‘live chat’ with the monkey, but in reality it’s just a looped video with a chat box answering your questions.
