It seems crazy even for him. I'd love for him to share the secret since my left leg was amputated when I was 7

The social media posts are examples of what could be called "stolen satire," where claims written as satire and presented that way originally are reposted in a way that makes them appear to be legitimate news. As a result, readers of the later posts are misled, as was the case here.

It's funny, but some people are believing it. DU shouldn't be a source of misinformation, even if unintentionally.
