Transcript:
Clayton: What are you doing, pop? Adam: I'm shopping online for a new printer. Clayton: How's it going? Adam: Not so good. Some of these user reviews are so obviously fake. Clayton: Fake? Adam: Yeah. They're written by someone at the company trying to get you to buy their product. Listen to this one... "Before I bought the falcon 350, I was broke and in a bad relationship!!! Now I'm married to a supermodel and zuckerberg wealthy!! Thank you!!" Clayton: That's fake? Adam: 100 percent. Clayton: How can they put something fake on the internet? Adam: Son, for safety's sake, always assume everything on the internet is fake. Clayton: Like that photo of you on Facebook with all that hair? Adam: Exactly.

Regarding reviews – never buy ANYthing without checking Consumer Reports. We bought a dishwasher (brand name on request) based on customer reviews and it is so bad we do out dishes by hand. I wouldn’t put this thing on FreeCycle. It’s not worth the trouble of hooking it up.

Granted that fakery and fraud exist on the Internet, yet why the knee-jerk assumption that because something is on the Internet, therefore it is not to be believed? Yet I’ll wager dinars to donuts that many of the same people who are so skeptical about the Internet also automatically assume that anything occurring offline is perforce above board. But fakery and fraud long predate the online world; just because something takes place in ‘real’ life, it doesn’t always follow that it’s either real, ethical, or honorable.
