If you’re going to be initiated into a gang, then Wal-Mart has all your initiation and after-party needs met.

From the YouTube description: “NewsChannel 8 has taken several calls, e-mails and text messages from viewers worried about messages they are receiving about a possible gang initiation that involves a shooting at Wal-Mart.”

This little tidbit is all over the news and is in the top twenty for Google Trends (as I type this) in three different ways. You can definitely see why police and other authorities are trying to keep a cap on it and stop people from panicking.

I’m quite impressed. For a hoax, this is a pretty good one.
