What’s interesting to note, however, is that the article Mahindra is referring to was first published on World News Daily Report. The story about the man faking being dumb and deaf is fictional. How do we know? Well, a disclaimer given at the end of the website proves the fictitious nature of the story. The disclaimer reads:
“World News Daily Report assumes all responsibility for the satirical nature of its articles and for the fictional nature of their content. All characters appearing in the articles in this website - even those based on real people - are entirely fictional and any resemblance between them and any person, living, dead or undead, is purely a miracle.”
