Fake URL Trolling is super easy but very effective!

1. Email/twitter/post a fake shocking story or breaking news to a friend/group.

2. Make up a nice long URL (WordPress title style) to prolong the shock moment.

3. The 404 will make the target wonder if the post was taken down or the link is just broken.
   

Examples:

• http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/07/movies/google-opens-worlds-first-vertical-movie-theater-on-broadway
• http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/exhibitions/evan-roth-solo-show-oof/
• http://techcrunch.com/buzzfeed-sold-to-microsoft
• http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/KATSU/view
• http://fffff.at/how-to-become-a-member-of-fat
• etc ….

Never hit RT before you’ve seen the WWW!
