The real point is that even Deanna Farvre (if there even is such a person; I barely know Brett Farve plays football) wouldn't be that stupid; yet the American public can be.

Just as a general rule it's exactly the thing that Snopes picks up. It depends on how widely spread it is for them to hear about it.
