Hey Everyone,

So I'm just curious. How many people can confess to clicking on this thread just because they wanted to read what the "hot rumor" was?

Admittedly, this thread is an experiment. I've seen lots of people write about the evils of gossip... So I was just curious as to how many people would see a title like this and want to know what the supposed rumor was, even on a Christian website. When given the chance to participate in gossip... what will people actually do?

I'm guessing that if someone is truly against gossip, they won't even bother clicking on the title and we won't even know who they are. Or will they say they did it in order to tell others how evil gossip is? (Um... ok...) Will people even admit to reading this thread?

Just curious. I'm always interested in what people say vs. what people actually do. And, for the record, if I hadn't written the thread, I would have clicked on it too.

(The poll is multiple choice and anonymous... But I'd love to know your thoughts on the subject as well. :))

Great test. I think we could all use this as a catalyst to search our souls. I didn't click this particular thread because of the rumor part. I actually thought it would be clever sarcasm. However, I am very guilty of flipping through the tabloids at the grocery store counter hoping to get the juicy details on who's pregnant and who's not.
