DIGITAL LIFE | ONLINE ACTIVISM NEEDS SOMETHING MORE

"A Facebook group that started off with the name “Stop the injustices in Palestine” saw a large number of people join initially. The group’s name then changed to “Stop the media bias against Israel”, but very few noticed. Group member Zubair Mahomed, however, did and was shocked at the fact that no one else had.

Mahomed made himself the administrator of the Facebook group and changed the name again to the absurd, “Lemon trees are our salvation”, to see who noticed.

Less than a handful of members noticed this change."

Erhahaha! Nuff said, eh?
