Hoax - are you easily fooled?

先日ニュースで話題になったビッグフットをご存知ですか？
画像を見た感じ偽物というのはすぐ分かると思うのですが
世界的なニュースになるくらいなので、信じた方も
多いのでしょうね・・・。
今日はChristinaがhoax（いたずら）について
書いてくれました。
ちなみに、↓これがそのビッグフットの写真です。

Recently the funniest news story was believed by
thousands of people all over the world, I'm sure
you've read it or seen it on television - it's the
Bigfoot story. One of the most famous myths that
continues to get some people overly excited.
Well, Bigfoot has been discovered as just another
hoax story. This doesn't come as a surprise to me,
because there are centuries of hoax stories. Some
still exist. Take for example, the April Fool's Day
celebration - it's an internationally celebrated day
to make fools out of people from crazy pranks or
silly jokes. On-going hoaxes are seen everywhere
on the Internet. E-mail pictures, articles, virus hoax
warnings and website scams are very popular for
some people who have lots of time to create and
send them. So are you easily fooled by what you
see and hear? Next time you see an unusual news story,
ask yourself - is this real or is this a hoax?
