Sylvester Stallone “Rambo” is NOT Dead


News has been going around that Sylvester Stallone aka Rambo has died, but Ugandapicks.com can now confirm Sylvester Stallone is not dead. The news was just a hoax which came just after the supposed death of Tiger Woods and Singer Usher.

A false Sylvester Stallone death report, claiming that the actor died in a fashion show, is angering fans today. Stallone follows Tiger Woods, Usher, and Busta Rhymes as the latest victim of a fake celebrity death report within twenty-four hours. Typically one fake celebrity death report gains traction per day.

The latest fake news report said “Unconfirmed reports say Sylvester Stallone has died last night after “Dressed To Kill” Fashion Show.” The false report adds “Initial reports are talking about Sylvester Stallone being dead”.

It is not yet clear where the fabricated story originated but multiple sites are using the same fabricated story about Stallone coupled with an auto-generating date creator at the top of the story.

Many fans of the now 65 year old Sylvester Stallone have been angered by the false reports.

Michael Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone was born July 6, 1946, commonly known as Sylvester Stallone, and nicknamed Sly Stallone, is an American actor, filmmaker, screenwriter, film director and occasional painter.

Stallone is known for his machismo and Hollywood action roles. Two of the notable characters he has portrayed include boxer Rocky Balboa and soldier John Rambo.

The Rocky and Rambo franchises, along with several other films, strengthened his reputation as an actor and his box office earnings.

Recently Tiger Woods and Usher, were the victim fabricated news stories. Added for Woods was a new tropical location, a mention of a golf course, and a series of new claims. While the story was still fabricated, its freshness tricked Tiger Woods fans.

There are many media outlets even in Uganda which use fabricated stories to make money.
