IUPUIUPUIUUPPI -- According to a new study released today by the Center for Popular Hypocrisy (CPH) at Indiana University, Illinormal campus, people are not as honest as they may seem online.
"We found a correlation that most people who write 'LOL' are not in fact laughing at all," said CPH director Ryan McChristophers. "This is only preliminary data, though, and we will continue our research if I am not currently lying. Just kidding. LOL!"
The study also examined "ROFL," "LMFAO" and "PSML" and found that a whopping 99 percent of people who write these phrases are neither rolling on the floor, laughing an ass off or pissing themselves.
"LOL was the only phrase that we found has some occasional truth to it," commented McChristophers. "We recommend that people begin using phrases like 'IDC' and 'GFY' in online discussions to convey the truth of how they are feeling.
IDC is an acronym for "I don't care" and GFY stands for "Go f**k yourself." LOL!
