Bennett....please stop texting

A blog on tumblr went viral recently....yes, it was Texts from Bennett. This blog claims to be 100% real. The blog consists of screen shots of text conversations the blogger has with his 17-year-old cousin. The blogger describes his cousin Bennett as a "white boy that thinks he's a crip." While the texts are funny because of how stupid they are....it's hard to believe that they are actually true. Interestingly enough, the blogger was recently outed. It is "Mac Lethal" (David Sheldon) the rapping pancake guy.

He was outed by none other than his dad! His dad said that the Bennett blog is true, it's inspired by a friend of the blogger....but the texts are not real. The blogger constructs the jokes and puts them into text format. So, this guy is creative. I don't understand why people are mad that they are not real text messages. They are funny nonetheless...and it doesn't take a genius to realize that they are fake. It's cool that this guy's video went viral on its own...and so did the blog. The connection wasn't made until after both were popular.

So...don't believe everything you see on the internet. While many things are there for entertainment, some people do get confused with what is real and what is not. In the age of photoshop and other ways to manipulate things with technology it is best to proceed with caution....but you can laugh at things like this:
