I'd advice against it. Since the update is here for people to see now who might have missed it, but got the false information before. Also it's a pretty good lesson that media literacy is really important. The thread already did all the damage it could, now it can still correct some of it.

He will be this year, apparently. That one's not Star exclusive news, so you can probably trust it.
I've timed a cut to end before the beginning of series 10. Gonna fucking eat some cake this year while watching I am. I will gain 10 pounds with no guilt.
Bleh. The originator of this meme from GAF is a convicted pedo, I don't know why people are always so happy to repeat it over and over in so many different places.
Maybe I am too easily offended, I guess :P
Negativo. Keep it open a while longer, more people need to see this national embarrassment of a thread.
Was it by Amirox? I guess a lot of people didn't know about that.
After falling for the "interview", I ain't falling for that.
It was Muppet345 who is now victim of slander.
Tabloid author: IT'S ME ERA! IT'S ME ERA! IT WAS ME ALL ALONG ERA! YOU ALL BOUGHT IT, YOU ALL BOUGHT IT! EVEN TWITTER AND REDDIT BOUGHT IT!
Yeah, now that's irony though.
Nah, I want you to be bit more careful in what kind of information you spread.
I knew this was total bullshit as soon as I saw the cover of the Daily Star saying they talked to The Rock. No way was he gonna be talking to a total shitrag like that.
Muppet was only the messenger... the actual body of the post was an elaborate troll cooked up by ShockingAlberto and others as only revealed by Alberto in 2017.
Fair play, they played the entire internet like damn fiddles.

Ahhhhhh yes, the Final Fantasy 13 one. Ah well, lessons learned.
Might wanna edit that post in the interest of people not reading the top of the page and never scrolling down if you haven't already.
Amirox sure said some dumb as hell stuff though, so I can see why you would think it was him.
I will never trust anything in the internet again. Time to resubscribe to a local newspaper and cancel my broadband.
It is interesting how people are dunking on people who believed this article and criticised The Rock but not the people who believed the article and agreed with this fake interview.
Interesting.
Interesting.
I didn't say I looked immediately. I looked on my own and found the article to be really shady, but never thought they'd outright fabricate the entire thing on their own. I dunno what that publication is.
And if he had said that, it definitely would have been tied to Hart because they're friends and it would have been said in the middle of his bullshit.
So you can calm down. He responded to it and said it didn't happen. I read the thread. Most people didn't look at all.

Right. But I wanted to be absolutely sure. Because I'm a fan of The Rock. It was like, I wanna believe it's false it's just... you'll forgive me if my experiences with {and impression of} Conservative/Right-leaning people, especially rich ones, isn't the best in this climate.
That's generalizing a crap ton of people, and it's fucked up that I'm at that point, but that's just where I am right now. I'm sorry. And it sounded exactly what the fuck I'd expect to hear.
It's The Daily Star. Of course it's a load of bullshit. It's embarrassing that so many people believed it to begin with.
Also, this very much opens them to being sued into the ground due to the UK's defamation laws.

I think this is a truly impressive thread in that just about 97% of people have come off looking like a horses's ass, myself included. Reset took an L today on this one.
This thread really is a case study on how ready people are to insult another persons character, and how few are actually willing to hold a L when the original quotes are a fabrication. Reading through this thread has been a ride
Needs to be in the OP.
Videos great and so is the message Dwayne is responding with.
The defenders looking dumb as fudge, especially when The Rock denies an interview happening. Going to be great watching scurry away
yeesh. did not know that. Always saw it around GAF but I didn't know HE started it.
As the great George Costanza once said, "...Just remember, it's not a lie... if you believe it."
