Fake News: Teen On 'Female Viagra' Did NOT Crash Into Building While Masturbating To Gear Shift

Did a 17-year-old teenager in Bowling Green, Kentucky crash a car into a building while maturbating to the gear shift under the influcence of "female viagra"? No, that's not true, the story was made up by a site that invents tales of bizarre crimes and weird sex acts for entertainment purposes. It did not happen for real.

The story originated from an article published by World News Daily Report on July 16, 2018 titled "Teen on 'female Viagra' crashes into building while masturbating to gear shift" (archived here) which opened:

Bowling Green, KY | A Kentucky teenager who has crashed her parents' vehicle into the house of a citizen of Warren County has admitted she was under the influence of alcohol, ecstasy, and counterfeit female Viagra.

The 17-year-old, whose name has not been disclosed by authorities, told officials she had lost control of the parked vehicle after she had an "uncontrollable urge to masturbate" according to the official Bowling Green Police Department report.

The young woman allegedly lost control of the parked vehicle after inserting the gear shift inside her vagina in what she described herself as an ultimate attempt to "stop being horny."

Users on social media only saw this title, description and thumbnail so some might have mistaken it for a real news report:

However the image of the car crash is actually from a 2016 accident in Concord, New Hampshire, as reported by Patch:

Car Crashes into Apartment Building

CONCORD, NH - Concord Fire and Rescue teams as well as police were sent to the Parkview Place Apartments on 128 Loudon Road for a vehicle crashing into a building. The accident occurred just before 6 p.m. on May 26, 2016. Two people were evaluated for injuries at the scene, according to alerts online.

The website World News Daily Report is a well known satire website specialized in posting hoaxes and made up stories. The disclaimer on their website is pretty clear about that even though you have to scroll all the way down the page to find it:

World News Daily Report assumes all responsibility for the satirical nature of its articles and for the fictional nature of their content. All characters appearing in the articles in this website - even those based on real people - are entirely fictional and any resemblance between them and any person, living, dead or undead, is purely a miracle.

It is run by Janick Murray-Hall and Olivier Legault, who also run the satirical Journal de Mourréal, a satirical site spoofing the (real) Journal de Montéal. Very often their stories feature an image showing a random crazy mugshot found in a mugshot gallery on the internet or on a stock photo website superimposed over a background of flashing police lights or crime scene tape.

Articles from the site are frequently copied (sometimes even months or years later) by varous fake news websites that omit the satire disclaimer and present the information as real.
