Claims to Dispel Urban Myths
Claim: There is a
website on the Internet housing a searchable database of urban legends and
Internet hoaxes.
Example: [Collected on the Internet, 2006]
Origins: As charming a story as this may be, there isn't a shred of truth to it. There is no website by this name nor is there any site dedicated to debunking or verifying urban legends. Most likely, the storied existence of Snopes.com has arisen out from the widespread desire to shut down and preferably shame those Internet users who robotically forward Amber Alert hoaxes, bogus product recalls, and phony get-rich-quick-scams. Snopes.com is nothing more than a fabricated means of presenting the trump card of "ultimate authority" into the conjecture of rumor mongering.
