Ugandan 'child rape festival' article goes one spoof too far
An article that circulated the Internet claiming that a Ugandan ‘child rape festival’ was to be held has turned out to be fake.
The article made the rounds this past week about child rape. This article, which was proven to be a fake, came after another fake article, about President Museveni’s daughter being lesbian.
The article about Museveni’s daughter proved more political than parody, but caused a frenzy online about the bill. The article about the Ugandan rape festival was posted by South African-based satirical site, Lifestyle Tabloids, and left many wondering if this spoof had gone too far.
