Supposedly, the \u00a0constant stream of annoying invites became too much for the woman to bear and she finally snapped and beat the offending invite sender to death.<\/p>\n<p>But, of course, the story is just a satire piece and was never intended to be taken seriously. The story comes via \u00a0the satirical website, \u00a0The Vally Report. The site \u00a0includes the following <a title=\"The Valley Report - Disclaimer\" href=\"http:\/\/thevalleyreport.com\/disclaimer\/\">disclaimer<\/a> to alert readers that its reports tend to stray from the truth:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Some of these stories my be exaggerated, embellished or an outright work of fiction. Use proper judgment when reading anything on the internet. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In reality, the site is for entertainment and nothing it publishes should be taken seriously.<\/p>\n<p>A problem with the rapid pace of social media is that an increasing number of users tend not to bother clicking through to the actual article being posted but instead make assumptions based entirely on the post&#8217;s headline and text snippet and share, share, share. Most people who actually take \u00a0the time to read the article will \u00a0likely realise its satirical nature.  \u00a0After all, the story claims that the roommate was beaten \u00a0to death with a bag of jelly beans. And the police spokesperson supposedly quoted in the \u00a0report more or less suggests that the murder victim had it coming. These, and other elements to the story are fairly hefty red flags.<\/p>\n<p>Mind you, while this piece is obviously just satire, many of us may have actually felt urges to murder when dealing with the 8 billionth inane and annoying Facebook game invite. Gamers beware?<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\"\n     data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p class=\"date\">Last updated: March 11, 2016<br \/>\nFirst published: March 11, 2016<br \/>\nBy Brett M.
