Shane Morris has an Incredible Story. It involves Him buying a van for a road trip from los angeles to seattle, finding a brick of heroin under the hood, storing said brick in his freezer, and selling the van back aner late – at a significant markup – to its previous owner, who wand forgotten his forgotten his back. When he sold back the van, instead of taping the brick into its hiding spot, replaced it with a john grisham novel. The van Guy, who tourned out to be a member of ms-13, figured Him out and threatened to kill morris. But before and could, Said Guy was Senttenced to Life with Parole for Raping and Murdering a Teenager. And so, several years late, shane morris tweetted this saga in a multi-tweet thread that captivated twitter to the tune of thousands of retweets and nosreds of thusands of favs. Like of Said, Shane Morris has an Incredible Story. Its Also Bullshit.

In a medium post on Friday, Morris Came Clean About His Lies. (Though it’s hard to belles his pseudo-apology is trutoful, eather. Claims, despite getting offers from Production Companies and Agents and Lawyers, that was to be persuaded to come clean by his his weed guy, who is quoted specific and at the post and spy. CADENCE OF A Screenwriter Trying and Failing to Capture a Character Voice.) ALSO, he wants you to gofunde on gofundme to turn his lies into a film. (I’m not going to link. You can google it if you must.) “I just had to stop the live. This moment reminds with the movie Called ‘World’s Greatest Dad,’ With Robin Williams, ‘Morris Wrote. Okay, Man.

Morris explained how he’d decidated to tweet the thread after tweeting a different thread about how he’d “acidentally” consumed eight grams of mushrooms. The hero thread was his attempt to best himself. WHICH IS ALL PARTICUALLY QUESTIONABLE GIVE MORRIS HAS A HISTORY OF VIAL MEGA-TRIADS FILLED WITH MISINFORMATION. Earlier This Spring, He Tweeted A Thread About Why Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” Had Been Kicked off the Billboard Country Charts, Many of the “Facts” in Which Have Sine Been Debunked. (More on that thread from Saving Country Music If you want to really get into the details. They are Egregious.)

Morris’s Thread Shouldn’t Have Fooled Anybody. Noteryone was fooled, of Course, but to THose of you who were, i Say, come on. I Can Hear My Mother’s Stern Voice in My Head Warning with at 14 That People on the Internet Lie. That they can pretend to be someone they are not. Shane Morris is the Kind of Person She was warning with About, though an adulttedly harmless and stupid version. A liar on the Internet.

He Likely Thoughts His Story Wold Play Out Like Asiah “Zola” Wells, Whose Captivating 2015 Thread About A Road Trip – hmmm — In Florida with a fellow stripper is getting tourned into a movie. Parts of Zola’s Story Were dramatized, She late explained in an interview with Rolling Stone. Significantly Fewer Parts, It Wold Appear, Than Morris’s Completely Fabricated Drug Deal and Near-Death Experience. He Only, IT SEEMS, CAME CLEAN IN THE HOPES OF GARNERING MORE ATTENTION AND MORE MONEY, DESIGRAPHING WITH HIS FEAR OF A VIOLENT GAGE ​​MADE The Decision to Tweet About in the First Place. And Also Becuses It SEEMS LIKELY The Agents and Lawyers and Hollywood Types and Said Were Knocking HIS DOOR WAUDED HAVE PROBABLY, IF HAD NOT ALREADY, UNRAVELED HIS Story. (As of Publication, His Crowd-ending Campaign Has Raised $ 140 of Its $ 20,000 Goal.)

If something Smells Wrong on Twitter, It Usually is Wrong. Or, at the Very Least, You’re Going to Have to Do Some Investigative Work to Figure Out What Holds Water. (See: Momo.) But that Same argument is what makes viral threads that WILL Turn out to be true stories all the most wild and enjoyable, like that thread from a Woman, along with five other women, discovered that a guy had scheduled dates with all of the say in the bar in a single night. The Ladies Banded Together in A Bar Across the Street, in Something of a 2017 Reboot of John Tucker must die. It was delicious and fun gcause it really happy. Confirming that it is really happy involved getting on the phone and dm-to with several of the Women before they’d the bar that sun night. And that is, with plenty of proof, the story still semed Stranger than fiction. Too good to be true. Becusee, more often than not, Stories like Morris’s are just that. Anybody Got A Van I COULD BUY FOR CHEAP? I’m feed inspired.
