Pitbull and your daily Twitter death hoax

http://twitter.com/#!/akshay_daryani/status/206081947007590400
Twitter has had more fictional deaths than the entire Die Hard franchise combined. A new one popped up today, all fresh and ready for worldwide trending. Twitter’s been blowing up with the rumor that rapper/pop singer Pitbull has died, with no real evidence on Google News, or from celebrities who know the man himself, or anyone else who might actually be considered credible.

Tired of the trend yet? We collected some  tweets from this new hoax, ranging from gripes about the “RIP (insert celebrity name here)” fad, to disappointment that this one’s actually a hoax. Take a look:

RIP Pitbull? He's not dead and he's not really inspiring person, then why is it trending?
