The Laugh is On Us. Turns Out Snopes is One Giant Prank.

Nobody saw this coming.

Snopes.com, the website that has claimed to be the source of all truth and veracity when it comes to internet pranks and folklore, took down their site today and put this on their homepage:

I spy a forthcoming new thread companion to sit alongside "People Who Cannot Distinguish Snopes from Stick Figures"

One of the commenters thinks she just made up the term "snopester".

[Beejtronic]

As satire, that was pretty dire.

Who's Prince Henry?

And is the pictured face really showing shock, or holding something in?

Tupac is really dead?

I've got $5 that I will wager to anybody that the OP's link will be cited for years by wingnuts and conspiracy theorists as though it was a thing that actually happened, rather than a parody.

Yep. It kind of sucks, because even though it's a satire, it will probably result in a net loss of credibility for the site. Because the people who most need the site are also least likely to detect and parse the satire.

I was under the impression she made up the fact that she loves snopes and is a snopester.
