For those wondering, this played out well! OP found someone to take the job. His wife bit on the prank gleefully, was actually thrilled by the idea that OP had a son he didn't know about. When the prank was revealed, she thought it was hilarious. Ultimately pretty wholesome, OP married a keeper.
We fired our fact-checkers, so we cannot verify whether that is true or not.
i would like to post a community note saying that i personally believe it to be true
I can assure you it is true as I was there. I was the $100 note.
I can also assure you it is true. I was given a $100 not.. uh wait no you didn't hear that
True or not, this is the outcome we deserve.
It's the outcome I want to believe as well.
Literally everything about it's anecdotal so the best result a fact-checker could have is a shrug.
Nah they have actual footage from the event
They couldn't before they fired them either, so not a lot has changed. Their "fact checkers" were poorly written algorithms that frequently flagged benign content as misinformation.

I think the goal was to flag benign content as misinformation to push truthful content to the same level as flat earth content.
So doing exactly what was intended.
The AI replacement says this is true.

Look at mister MVP over here.
ahahahaha, thanks for linking
He's playing checkers, she's playing 3d go.
I think 3d go is called gone
and everyone clapped
Oh I would have totally done this lol
Dealer's choice ehh? Let's go with "explosive herpes".
To shreds you say
Doctor's have never seen anything like it before, explosive, just completely explosive.
Like a minefield around the mouth that usually looks like almost everything just went off. The boils in-between could get pretty huge for the face, too. Like a quarter inch. I actually have a dormant variety because I once tried to hug mom and a few of them popped. She screamed and hit me and made me promise to never do it again...
Sounds like something will Farrell would say. Approved.
Oh shit I wanna do this
I've got some free time but I don’t think I could pass for twenty. RIP, $100.
$500 minimum, and I'd really have to think hard about it.
$1000, done deal.
Even at $100 it's a pretty reasonable time/compensation ratio, assuming you only have to spend like 10 minutes on actual performance time.
Of course there is potentially travel time and the overhead of communicating ahead of time to set up the prank.
May not be worth it if you have a full time job already.
Any acting student would take the 100 gladly.

Eh I'd even take the gig for an entire evening
It's reasonable for a steady gig but not for a one-off contract.
Sorry, someone else already has the job. Thanks for your application though!
Sounds like the basis of a very healthy marriage!
he sounds playful. They will be alright
This is definitely healthy marriage shit. And a marriage that is better off than at least half. Humor is a necessary ingredient to happiness and the crazier the better sometimes.
Once again a random user diagnoses a marriage from a single post. What a time we live in to have access to so many skilled experts capable of diagnosing such things with just a little bit of information!
I think they'll be fine: https://www.reddit.com/r/harrisonburg/comments/1hvdyv8/fake_kidpissed_wife_epilogue/
I really want to know how this played out
What a great story. I love both her reaction to his "son" and her reaction to finding out it was an act.
Thanks! That was a fun read :)
