Title : It's creepy and cryptic, but is PostSecret murder confession real?
Author: Gabe Falcon
I had no prior knowledege of this subject. So when I was reading about it I was very surprised and a little confused. I feel the audience are people who use Postsecret blog , I think it is a negative influence because it is questioning the realness of these blogs. Gabe maybe thinks people who use that blog play a little to much and don’t know how to be serious. i know when i was reading this I was thinking "who in their right mind would post such a thing on the internet" The reason of the article was to see if others thought the murder confession was real or were people just trying to play a sick joke. The article is important because it is letting people know that some people do use online media for getting things to spread around. No one ever thought about a murder in a Chiago city park but now that it has become viral people can find out. This is relevant to my life because using media is a big part of my life and it should be used as serious thing and nothing to play with.
Hm. This is very interesting. I feel as though people will do the utmost to get attention even if no one knows it's them. I think it's called being a narcissist which can often result in becoming a real murderer, not just an online fake. If that's what they really are.
ReplyDeleteIt's infuriating to think that someone sent that note and was joking- not because people can't take a joke, but because of all the time and resources used to find the body by the police and citizens. The site seems to have a serious, sometimes playful air to it. It's annoying how the people spent time on this and it turned out to be a flop. They checked because they had to- but the person didn't have to send that card. -________-
