The new game that made a huge smashing breakthrough for mobile users worldwide!!
Some phones were smashed, others thrown into the dark abyss of the floor because 'poor o' flappy bird' crashed into another steel pipe again...(you didn't tap it enough, huh?)
So I turned on facebook and saw this headline that phones with flappy bird installed are now selling at a high price! apparently allot of people who had pre-downloaded flappy bird on their phones are selling them online...and there are apparently takers! iPhones, Android phones, HTC's and ect...
SO Not to miss out on this golden opportunity, I too quickly went to my google play and search for the flappy bird app to be dismayed because it is now GONE! I quickly jumped unto my iPad and sprint my fingers to the nearest app store on my iOS device and guess what? I'ts GONE !!!!!!!!!!
The saying of "You will never know what you have been missing till it's gone" has come true for me in this situation!
Soon enough, social media sites were buzzing around...(or should I say "flapping" around) with hot spicy shocking devastating news that ....the creator of Flappy Bird had committed suicide! SUICIDE! For the love of God...can you imagine? The poor soul!
Here are the articles below:

And SO I was devastated! I not never got the chance to play, and just when I was thinking about downloading it last night too!
How could such an artist kill themselves? Was there foul play? Too much fame till he couldn't handle it? Some secret conspiracy between game makers and game masters? Virtual world business gone bad?
Well...after further reading, an article proved otherwise!

The story is fake.
The article comes from the humorous website huzlers.com. The same website was responsible for another “Flappy Bird” rumor that went viral last week with a story that a teen killed his brother over the game.In this fake story about the Flappy Bird developer, we read:
SAN FRANCISCO – Flappy Bird developer Dong Nguyen has just been found dead in his home with a gunshot wound in his head. Authorities are confirming that Nguyen committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with a pistol. Authorities are saying that the sensational game Flappy Bird had something to do with the suicide.The fake news account was not reported by any reputable news source.
While the story about Nguyen committing suicide is a work of fiction, this “satire” falls on the heels of a number of odd tweets by the “Flappy Bird” developer who said he planned to take the game down because “I cannot take this anymore.”
