Nov. 24, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The internet rumor mills seem to be working overtime, churning out one celebrity death rumor after another. After the sad internet demises of Miley Cyrus, Lil Wayne and Lady Gaga, it is the turn of the Jonas Brothers to face an unhappy and gruesome death. Looks like the pranksters went into a lot of trouble in his/her/their bid to swerve clear from the usual boring car crash stuff that is generally dished out. The Jonas Brothers allegedly went to their death in a plane crash. Exciting, no doubt, and ingenious too, but fortunately untrue.

The mastermind definitely put in a lot of effort to the stuff that was created. A whole fake Fox News page was created that accounted the time and manner of death, to give the matter a veneer of authenticity. The page cited that the Jonas Brothers had crashed into a hill a few miles north of Wellington in New Zealand. The pop stars were aboard a small Cesna XLS jet that contained twelve pother passengers. Very scanty details have been obtained as of yet by the rescue teams that continue to comb the crash site and surrounding countryside, searching for possible survivors. It has been presumed that none of the passengers survived the crash.

What really strikes is the remarkably authentic aura that the prankster has infused into the ‘news.’ The Fox page news is extremely real in appearance, complete with other bits of news. Intricate details have cleverly been avoided. No wonder, then, that this piece of fake death has been so greatly believed.
