Is Facebook Shutting Down? Facebook Ending March 15th?

Rumors have just surfaced that Facebook, the world’s largest social networking site, may be closing its doors for good this coming March. Reports are running wild that Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook, has announced that he will be shutting down the site for good.

The “news” that Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook will shut down on March 15 because he finds running the company “too stressful” is false.

It’s a rumor based on a fictitious, satirical story published on WeeklyWorldNews.com, a tabloid-style website (formerly a weekly newspaper) best known for such past scoops as “Alien Spaceships to Attack Earth in 2011” and “Megan Fox Is a Man.”

It isn’t news. It barely even qualifies as a rumor.
