Heh. I kept my mouth shut about the B-Carved-in-Face-Gate story at the time because I had the impression from somewhere that the alleged attack had happened with witnesses in a public place; it sounded like something out of a bad movie, but hey, there was a police report and everything, right? Either way, it was bound to get more play.
Now that it's been exposed as a hoax, SA's Joseph "Maxnmona" Fink is doing a better job than most of playing LGF for a day:
There were some problems with her story, of course. The first is that, like SomethingAwful's own DocEvil, she obsessively documented on Twitter every step of her night. Except maybe she was setting things up a little too conveniently for what she would have no way of knowing was going to happen next. Oh, and maybe she got a few bits of info wrong too, referring to the Citizens Bank as a Bank of America, and saying things like "this is definitely a bad part of town, I'm gonna get mugged by an angry political black man I bet" about a not bad part of town.
Oh, also maybe the B was backwards and didn't break the skin. Like how it'd be if you drew one really hard with your fingernail in the mirror.
And that's where it starts.
