Catfishing

Occasionally I'll run into a news story or media story that reminds me I'm not 25 years old anymore. Today's story is about "catfishing" and the MTV show about it. I had no idea what that meant, so I clicked on the article to find out.

For those of you as clueless as I am, catfishing is the term used to describe someone who is creating a fake online identity (like the fake "girlfriend" of Mantei Te'o). For those of you laughing at me for not knowing that term, go to your room, and don't come out until you learn to speak to your elders with more respect.
