Current mood:

Gobsmacked

Fake journals. Fake children. Real WTF by the truckload.
I can't even begin to explain all of this, but I found out about it through fake_lj_deaths.

Apparently, a user in the LJ rating community nouglybabies by the name of cold_still_life was busted as a fake. Not only did they not have any children of their own, but they actually stole photos from someone else and passed off those children as theirs. They also passed off the father of those kids as their husband, AND via IP matching, they were outed as having no less than 37 (yes, you read that right-- 37) different sockpuppet LJ's:

http://community.livejournal.com/fake_lj_deaths/223885.html

Because fake_lj_deaths is Friends Only until a hoax is proven, I'm providing the direct links they gave for those that aren't members of the community:

The first post, asking for cold_still_life to prove who she is-- http://community.livejournal.com/nouglybabies/743534.html

The post when the real identity of the parents was discovered-- http://community.livejournal.com/nouglybabies/744652.html

The running tally of all of the sockpuppet LJ's at her IP address-- http://community.livejournal.com/nouglybabies/745085.html

On an even weirder note, at least four of those socks had babies that died, and there's a whole host of Buffy/Whedonverse style WTF thrown in for good measure, because apparently her "children" were named after different characters, like Cordelia, and she supposedly had a four year old that was obsessed with BTVS.

I'm just shaking my head at all of this. It's too weird for words. o_O

EDIT: Thanks to redcoast in the comments, we now have more linkage here.

EDIT the Second: An example of her batshittery can be read here. Yeah, sure that's a four year old talking. Heh.

	and she supposedly had a four year old that was obsessed with BTVS. Someone on my LJ flist was talking about someone they came across on what I think was a parenting message board, who was worried that because her kid liked BtVS so much that she'd get made fun of in kindergarten because the other kids wouldn't know "how cool she is." I wonder if that's the same person. (Reply to this)

Things like this make me want to not post pics of my as-of-yet hypothetical children outside of f-lock (if at all) until they're eighteen... This is some seriously creepy shit.

And she wrote Buffy fic? Ack, no! Not one of my fandoms... *whimpers and feels dirty by association*

Dude...I just realized. This was so the plot of a CSI episode, only in the episode, the woman was a full bore lunatic who killed her real son so he wouldn't grow up to be a soldier like his dad and grandfather, then, in her insanity, became convinced a kid she saw on a family website was really her son, and even reported him missing when she couldn't find him at the park.
