Press Release of Will Ferrell's Death a Hoax
Within the last 24 hours or so, there had been a rumor on the Internet stating the death of actor Will Ferrell. Up until recently I-News Wire had the spotty press release published.
Certainly a scare and shock had run through many -myself included-, but thanks to the keen investigative journalism of Defamer, we can put this hearsay behind us.
Some internet prankster seems to be spreading around a link to this fake (and, quite frankly, very poorly written) press release claiming that Will Ferrell has died in a paragliding accident, apparently trying to stir up some buzz for a hoax ... Ferrell might remember that his funeral-haunting character in Wedding Crashers mocks a hang-gliding accident, an irony that would be too obvious for even the most malevolent of gods to inflict on Hollywood.To reiterate; Will Ferrell is not died, he did not fall victim to a para-gliding accident yesterday and there will be no singing "Dust in the Wind" in his memory - well at least not for some time to come.

This was being posted on a few sites and was talked about on the radio yesterday. We were able to get it up quickly and I like to believe the Movie Blog and a few other sites where the first to report on it.
But who really knows.
