Rumor raises eyebrows

Internet, what's wrong with you? In this week's oh-no-they-didn't viral moment, the Web (of lies) went absolutely bonkers for an old conspiracy theory that reared its ugly head again: Katy Perry is actually JonBenét Ramsey. Yes, a few dunderheads, including a YouTube user with a ridiculous explainer video, are claiming the pageant princess' 1996 murder was a hoax — and JonBenét grew up to be the mega pop star.

Twitter blew up, and pop culture websites chewed on the rumor. The main piece of evidence is — wait for it! — their eyebrows. Yes, eyebrows. (And their parents look sort of similar or something.) People, c'mon. We have better things to do. Like waiting for Kanye West's next Twitter rant about Will Ferrell reaching "god status." Yep, that happened, too.
