We have also searched for the circumstances of this incident and story about Adam Sandler and we have found that Associated Global News was a fake news website which caters to fake news. According to the disclaimer at the bottom of the site they are just catering to what their users like to happen. The disclaimer reads…
"about this web site. (this story was dynamically generated using a generic ‘template’ and is not factual. Any reference to specific individuals has been 100% fabricated by web site visitors who have created fake stories by entering a name into a blank ‘non-specific’ template for the purpose of entertainment. For sub-domain info and additional use restrictions: FakeAWish.com)"In fact, Adam Sandler was not the first victim of the snowboarding issue because during the past week it was actor Charlie Sheen who fall prey to these antics. The newsflash posted at the site reads, “Actor Adam Sandler is reported to have died shortly following a snowboard accident earlier today -December 28, 2010.”
“Adam Sandler is very much alive and there is no truth to the rumors that were circulating. We are already requesting authorities to help us shutdown the website Associated Global News so that no further hoaxes of celebrities will be made,” said one of Adam Sandler’s handlers when we talked to them earlier.
The main origin of these news is a website called fakewish.com where users are directed to a page where you can type in celebrities first and last name, you then have a choice of what story you wanted to publish. These fake news are then spread out using the microblogging site twitter.
