Last night on WWE's RAW, Vince McMahon supposedly gave some money away before he was "injured" when part of the set "accidentally" fell on top of him. The video's especially convincing. Why, you'd have to have 20/20 vision, or maybe glasses, or possibly just both eyes to see him duck under the wall before the sign doesn't hit him at all. It's so believable that fans in the arena — people who desperately WANT to believe that this is real — whistle and shout their disapproval.
Ridiculous, right? Well, apparently KHOU in Houston reported this like it was a real event.
WWE Chairman Vince McMahon was injured in a freak accident in San Antonio Monday night. Just moments after giving away $500,000 in “McMahon’s Million Dollar Mania,” McMahon was crushed by a large electric sign that fell from the AT&T Center.
The extent of his injuries was unclear, but he was rushed to the hospital. WrestleMania officials planned to update fans on McMahon’s condition at a press conference in Houston Tuesday.
Blog of Hilarity has a nice take on this from someone who once worked in PR for WWE, but I'm still not buying any of it. KHOU.com has got be a fake website operated by WWE. I don't want to live in a world where people are that stupid. That's why I'm always trying to push for aggressive eugenics programs. Well, it doesn't have to be eugenics, per se. I'd settle for euthanasia.

Did they say what hospital he's at??? I need to send flowers*. Pray for him please.
*"flowers" = "flesh-eating viruses"
"Get this thing off of near me!"
I approve of the addition of “Dumbfucks” to the repertoire of tags. Because, yes, people are that stupid.
And, speaking of stupid people, can anyone help me out on changing the avatar? Becks has new ads, you see.
if its a report out of texas you can rest assured that people are that fucking dumb.
and if its eugenics you want, just ask Captain James T Kirk about that. i can already tell you what he would say.
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!
In related news, Kal-El, known to many as "Superman", recently returned to Earth after spending many years away from our planet searching for his parents in outer space. There was global rejoicing as super villains far and wide went into hiding. More at 11.
Most old people take Geritol. McMahon takes Winstrol. I think that's fucking boss.
Sadly, as a Houston resident I can tell you that this is in fact a "news organization". You wouldn't believe the number of times KHOU puts some kind of half-assed effort into fact-checking their stories. Why, just yesterday they were reporting that George Carlin died. As if.
@smello: Just go to your profile page…it should be easy enough to figure out from there.
Chunk- "C'mon Sloth! C'mon! We gotta get outta here!"
Sloth- "Sloth. Love. Chunk."

I thought McMahon would be Irish, but I guess he's Polish
No way he's getting up from that, Gorilla.
…aggressive eugenics programs.
hoooo boy, have you got a lot to learn. we humans work as a society. and in order for a society to thrive, we need gods, and clods. you see, i spent a lot of time going to law school, and i was able to go because I have a slightly higher intellect than others. but I still need people to pump my gas, and make my french fries, and fix my laundry machine when it breaks down.
Thanks, HHY. I’ve tried updating my profile about 4 times without success. No big deal. This avatar is fine. So. So. Fine.
It took awhile, but kudos to Owen Hart for finally getting his revenge.
It's just so real.
"We gotta get him outta here before this thing falls more"
Way to sell it "paramedic dude".
Makes sense, though. I mean, how else was Vince gonna justify why he stopped giving away money? Come up with a way to make it look as if Vince has become incapacitated and…. oh wow, look at that! No more million dollar giveaways!
I wonder how long he'll keep THIS charade up. Had it not been for Benoit's REAL death, I wonder if "Mr. McMahon" would still be considered dead by exploding limo.
@Shan:
Because if it fell any more…why I believe it might actually defy the laws of gravity! You see, the sign is already lying flush against the stage, but theoretically, it could slip further through the reinforced stage, possibly into some sort of alternate vortex…? I have no idea. All I know is if they really wanted me to believe this, they could've spared the hinges on the bottom of that million dollar sign.
