Widespread Facebook Fake Creates New National Pastime: Making Up Fake Martin Luther King Quotes

In case you haven’t heard: This quote, which popped up on thousands of people’s Facebook feeds and Twitter yesterday…

“I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy.” – Martin Luther King, Jr

… isn’t quite real. But since everybody’s having fun anyway (especially at the expense of people just being soooooooo high-minded in their fucking Facebook statuses, of all things), we figured we’d give you a chance to post your own fake MLK quotes in the comments below. Sorry, everybody: Sweeney already claimed “Somebody tell that bitch be cool” for MLK sometime last night.

    Did you hear who the U.S. Military killed Sunday?

    Charlie Sheen. He was in Afghanistan, dressed as Osama Bin Laden, and looking to score opiates.

    Visual version of what Gary Arnell listeners heard last night when “Sam from Port Richmond” was cutoff mid-sentence.

    Oh. Sorry. Where’s the Sheen thread on this site?
