If something is said on the internet it suddenly becomes fact and silly thing go viral. Why? How on earth did this happen?
Latest, totally daft mind you, is a young woman who apparently 'discovered' after 19 years, that you are meant to take the plastic bit of earring safety backs. It's all over the web, totally viral and has now been in many articles and varying other forms of media. Everyone is now astonished at this revelation and realising they've 'been doing it wrong for years' and will now 'do it right'.
BUT, you aren't meant to remove it, it's a safety/comfort back for a reason. It's is there for safety, security and comfort for heavier fronts or widened ear holes. But nope, someone on twitter said so and therefore it's fact. It's like the hair grip all over again!
Anyone else find it totally crazy that one persons comment can be taken so far and taken as fact? What other ones have you seen?
