The Internet is a place full of emotion. You can't escape it. Whether it's photos of a loving relationship you're jealous of, a rant by some ill-informed person on Facebook that's mad at the government or some other entity or if it's a heartwarming story that has gone viral. You can't escape the emotions of the Internet, and it's that emotion that seems to be what draws people back to the Internet time and again. The problem is, do we as an Internet society know when something is fabricated?

This is Paige Yore. If you take a moment to watch this video, it seems she had a very touching experience at a Wal-Mart recently. She claims she watched as a young cashier broke down into tears over his mother's recent suicide.

Touching, right? This young man showed his emotions in a very real way, and that made her cry very real tears when recounting the story moments later in her car in the parking lot. The only problem is that none of it was real. Well, Yore's tears were, but nothing else.

If you just said, "WHAT?!" in your head, here's a little explanation into how Yore has been debunked as having shared this moment with a Wal-Mart employee.

She does this sort of thing all the time! She's always posting emotional videos to attempt to get a rise out of people by playing into that premise laid out earlier. People love the emotion of the Internet and that's what draws them in, and until now, Yore has had little success doing so. Somehow, this video went viral, but that's not the point. The point is: she LIED!

The Wal-Mart Pueblo pulled up the footage and literally not one ounce of what she said happened, happened.

Still yet, that's not even the point really. Yeah, she lied, and yeah the video went viral, but the real point is: people believed it! Has society gotten to a point where whatever we see or read on the Internet is automatically thought of as factual?

Or, is it that this women is just an incredibly talented actress?! She did cry on command in the filthiness of a Wal-Mart parking lot while recounting a story that never happened, as if it were scripted lines that she needed to memorize.

"Hell…Hollywood, here's the next starlet of Tinseltown!"

Just look at the raw emotion she can express here:

Wonderful! How does she capture all this energy and harness it into a video that is one big massive lie? Pure, incomparable acting talent, that's how! Again, just look at that photo, and try to convince yourself she's not the next Meryl Streep or something! Couldn't do it, could you? Exactly.

Seriously, just watch this again (now knowing it was all a lie) and take it for what it is, or should be: an audition for Hollywood.

She has over 11 million views on the Facebook video and counting, along with 127k views and counting on this YouTube video that's categorizes as "Comedy." Maybe if the people of the Internet would just stop for a second and actually look around at the evidence they could've seen this was clearly fake.

But then again, maybe not, since Yore just put on a Oscar-worthy performance in a Wal-Mart parking lot.
