We need a fake video game news site
Something that crossed my mind earlier is that a site that posts fake video game news and passes it off as real would be hilarious. I'm envisioning a site that would for the most part reliably post real news, but occasionally trolls people who don't bother checking facts for themselves, with articles like "Sega to re-enter console market, revive Sonic series to its golden age glory" and "Donkey Kong to be revealed as Mario's love interest in upcoming game".
This would be funny because of how successful it would be. People spread false video game rumors all the time (Mew's totally under that truck, guys!) and if you had it on a legit-looking site, people would be forwarding it like crazy. Those who know not to believe everything they hear on the internet wouldn't be burned because a quick search would prove it false, but the social networking site kiddies who are frantic to tweet/facebook/tumblr/whatever everything big they see would fall for it. It would be chaos. Lulzy, lulzy chaos. And maybe they'd learn to think for themselves instead of mindlessly gobbling up the regurgitated mess big media spits into their mouths.
Somebody with the money needs to do this.
