So, yeah, it was a hoax, centered around a small network of websites. A little searching around on National Report found things like the same article on there twice, but with names, dates, and locations changed. Did you know it was a hoax before you wrote the article?

Yeah, I figured it was a hoax. There's a lot of page online about that fictitious mascot. I found this one on Daily Dot about a supposed Fappy movie being put out by Michael Moore. http://www.dailydot.com/lol/michael-moore-fappy-the-dolphin-film-hoax/ So my question is, because he's a hoax he doesn't get a page on Wikipedia?
