karate kid – Aids news is fake
Its a hot topic on different forums. Then i got an email from a friend and eventually from my fiance about the Karate Kid restaurant – Aids issue.
A 14 year old boy was diagnosed with aids upon eating in a well known fast food chain in Walter Mart. karate Kid makati wlater mart branch refused to give comment about this issue…..
I beleived the story even if i find it odd how it was written. However, this story is a hoax and GMA news explains why.
The sham Web site has the URL http://gmanewstv.comoj.com/karatekidaids.htm, and recently it posted a fabricated news item entitled “KARATE KID” FAST FOOD with AIDS!!!” The bogus story was about a 14-year-old boy who was diagnosed with AIDS after eating in a Makati restaurant.
A comparison of the fake Web site and the GMANews.TV will reveal these glaring differences:
- First, the fake Web site used all capital letters in the headline. These are not the style of GMANews.TV even if it is the end of the world.
- Second, the fake Web site used triple exclamation points. These are also not the style of GMANews.TV.
- Third, the fake Web site used a text font type that is different from the one used by GMANews.TV.
- Fourth, articles tagged as related stories were about the kidnapping of International Committee of the Red Cross in Sulu.
- Moreover, GMANews.TV has no writer named Karen Balagtsun, the supposed author of the atrocious news item.
So that’s why Karate Kid resto and Makati Medical Center can’t comment on the news… Its because there’s no news at all.
This is really bad that such kind of fake news are circulating. On hearing this kind of news, people become hesitant to help even those who might genuinely need such help.
Granting that this is a hoax, and that is a big relief to all public. But could this possibly happen? i mean can DoH confirm this posibility. If this can be spread on cooked items, how about in any wet market anywhere else selling raw meat or anything that is man handled. suppose a handler accidentaly cut his fingers while handling raw food. and the handler unknowingly or knowingly is sick even of not AIDS, how about hepa? or other killer deseases?
ano naman kaya ang motives ng gumawa niyan.
