Fake VP threads - how to identify them
1. Anything which contains an ambiguous subject line.
2. Anything which links to a YouTube video - there is no way the news is going up on YouTube immediately.
3. Anything which mentions the VP.

4. You'll know the real thing when there are 10 threads on "Latest" with one person's name ...
in the subject line. They'll all be posted within 30 seconds of each other.

8. Simple
Anything that isn't joined by 9 other front page threads saying the same thing as soon as you refresh your screen and before anyone has a chance to reply to any of them.
