Fact ChecksOriginated as Satire
Originated as Satire This rating indicates the claim stems from content described as satire by its creator and was later stripped of those satirical markings as it spread online. (Snopes does not make determinations on the "realness" or "effectiveness" of satire since such evaluations are subjective. Media may not be effectively recognized or understood as satire despite being labeled as such.) Learn more about our rating system here.
