Our tweets from the last few days demonstrate how easy it is for some people to believe what they read/see on Twitter no matter how obviously fake it is. Bit scary really.

Do people just ignore the ‘(and fictitious)’ part of your bio because it seems like that should be the red flag
Hi Marin, I think most people don't get as far as reading the bio, or even reading the replies that either correct the tweet or add to the joke

We get this too. It does make me laugh when someone is super eager to display their superior knowledge on a post when they haven't read the hashtags or bio to something that is clearly nonsense.

Many people never see the original tweet and simply respond to replies. I might consider myself to be less gullible “than the average bear” - and had to be reassured by a friend this was a parody account. I am sure you know what you are trying to achieve.
