Funny story. My roommate’s cousin is an excellent user of
Adobe Photoshop. One day, she decided it would be funny to take an image of her
sister and one of Tim Tebow and put them together into one picture, as if they
were posing together. She then posted the picture on her Facebook page and it
got a lot of attention from her Facebook friends. Even though she had posted
the picture only for her friends' entertainment, she found the picture a few
days later on various other websites. Someone had gotten a hold of the picture
and had placed it on a national website with the title, “Tim Tebow’s Secret
Girlfriend.” This girl had only created this picture as a joke for her sister
and her friends but when the wrong person got a hold of it, it turned into much
more. Now, if you type “Tim Tebow’s secret girlfriend” into Google, this fake
picture is the first image that appears. The article that includes this picture
mentions that Tim Tebow and this mystery woman have been hiding their
relationship for a few months. Because I know the girl involved, I know this
information is not true but many people may not. This is a perfect example of
how fast and easy it is to spread news and gossip through Social Media, whether
it is true or not. This example really makes people think about how many things
they may read in the tabloids that are probably not true. Many people believe
anything they read on the Internet, especially when it comes to celebrities,
but they don’t realize how easy it is for something like this to happen. This
joke turned into worldwide known gossip in less than a week; imagine how much
information is out there that just started as a joke? If you want to read the
article about “Tim Tebow’s Secret Girlfriend”, the link is found below.
