USA Today actually believed for a while today, April’s Fools Day, that [Selfie Shoes are a thing](http://entertainthis.usatoday.com/2015/03/31/sorry-yall-the-selfie-strick-era-is-over-meet-the-selfie-shoe/?ref=cjchilvers.com).

> “Only in ‘Murica, can vain people buy shoes designed soley to help them take even more selfies.”

People are laughing at USA Today. But, who’s the fool? USA Today just did what news sources (and **LOTS** of photo blogs) do everyday: copy whatever is sent to them in press releases.

It’s up to the reader to choose better sources of information. April Fools Day is an excellent opportunity to weed out a lot of blogs from your daily reading.
