This is what we get for believing a strange man on the internet — "Diane", the subject of a bizarre Twitter feud that went viral over the weekend, doesn't really exist.
'The Bachelor' producer Elan Gale's passive-aggressive (and then just, uh, aggressive-aggressive) back-and-forth with Diane, a spectacularly rude fellow passenger on a Thanksgiving flight, pretty much broke the internet over the weekend, followed by a series of solemn thought pieces about whether or not it was right for us to laugh at Diane's expense. Now — 140,000 new Twitter followers later — it turns out Elan was hoaxing us all.
So many questions unanswered about Diane. In 15 minutes I will post the photo and hopefully we can resolve all this

— elan gale (@theyearofelan) December 3, 2013Whoops. Meant Diane. Great time for a typo
— elan gale (@theyearofelan) December 3, 2013That's it, then — that's the last time we believe anything we read on the internet.
Anyway, did you guys hear about those Amazon drone deliveries? Pretty cool, right?
