Iceland Mandates Mental Health Warnings on All Bibles?
A satirical article about Iceland, Bibles, and mental health was mistaken as genuine news by some readers.
Rating: False
One clue was that they named the icelandic PM as “Andrew Canard.” Any article that gives an Icelander a name you can pronounce is obviously a fake. The real honcho was one Bjarni Benediktsson.
In June, the same satirical site ran an article claiming that Southern Baptists had been banned from Iceland. If only. This one, sure enough, named the president of Iceland as a wholly pronounceable Lars Bork, whereas the actual president’s name is a fearsome Guðni Th. Jóhannesson.
