The Fake-News or Hoax

DNA Shocker! Body Of Homeless Man Found In Fast Food Restaurant Was BOB MARLEY!

... The results of the DNA test reveled that the old man police had discovered behind the fast food restaurant was none other than reggae superstar … BOB MARLEY.

The news article is called news satire, also called fake news, and is a type of a humorous imitation presented in a format typical of mainstream journalism, and called a satire because of its content.

The fake article claims DNA was used to identity Bob Marley, but Jamaica currenlty doesn't have a DNA database and the country is still debating a DNA bill. So, the country has not yet established and is currently not operating a national DNA register.

The website www.richmondglobe.com is considered a threat because they have no disclaimer on their website and some people are taking the fake articles that they have published as authentic news.

The website is also similar to the fake or satire news websites:
