Freak of Nature

Just make sure that you don’t turn into that after using a hoax to drive up traffic onto your website. It’s real shameful, that Somali baby boomers can’t differentiate between what’s real and what’s not – my mom and all of her friends calling each other – they even called their Koran teacher – I wonder what he said. You can say that Dayniile has pulled off the biggest advertising campaign in the history of Somali websites. After all they are known for fabricating news, and people often believe them. I guess they figured they can make up b/s and get away with it.

An e-mail was sent to PACE magazine, and other news organizations warning us that the story was not real, it went as follows.... "The picture IS NOT REAL! It is a picture of a humanoid sculpture created by artist Patricia Piccinini. She creates exhibits of half human half animal creatures! Go to http://www.patriciapiccinini.net/ and go to link “We are Family”. The person who spread this picture on the internet used a photo of her sculptures and changed it and put it online with a fake story" - spread the word.
