Satire about rivalry between Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise lines was mistaken for real news on social media.

Gotta laugh. :D

Unbelievable.

Unfortunately many people react rather than think. Even if the LA Times or CNN had reported it, I would have known it was fake or not real. Cruise ships don't carry canons.

It's amazing how many people think stories from "The Onion" are real... :rolleyes:

Look how many believe what the media say about Trump.
