If you’re looking for some laughs today, I recommend you check out this blog, [Ghetto Hikes](http://ghettohikes.tumblr.com/). The author has a job leading urban kids who’ve rarely ventured outside the city on nature hikes and writes down what they say.

“If me and Jvon find a treasures chest out here, we makin the bus driver stop by the CoinStar. Cool?”

It looks pretty fake to me. Jesus, isn’t anyone skeptical of anything these days? Facebook has been absolutely _bombarded_ with years-old urban legends, hoaxes and “inspirational” stories that were debunked on Snopes a long time ago. And these type of blogs have also been making the rounds. It’s BS.

It’s also not very funny, in my opinion - it’s very cliched, stereotypical, tired “ghetto” jokes.

It’s probably fake, but who cares? I got a good laugh out of it.
