Table and Chair shelter for horses was a troll. |
There has been three big trolls out there within just a week. Generating millions of repostings and thousands of blog postings. Most of them believing the fake story behind them. The third one was the posting of horses sheltering under a giant table and chairs claiming that horse owner built them because he was denied the building permission to build a traditional horse shelter by a city council.
Sorry to say but the posting was untrue. The photograph is real, these chairs and tables do exist, but they were originally built by a German furniture manufacturer in order to advertise their products.
The photo was first published by TIME Magazine in 2003 and has appeared in many other magazines after that.
Fake messages spread in a social media very fast. Be critical, check out the sources and remember, even your most trustworthy sources/friends might get fooled with a good trolls.
