ST. LOUISCalling the experience completely transformative, local 22-year-old Angela Fisher told reporters Tuesday that her six-day visit to the rural Malawian village of Neno has completely changed her profile picture on Facebook. As soon as I walked into that dusty, remote town and the smiling children started coming up to me, I just knew my Facebook profile photo would change forever, said Fisher, noting that she realized early in her nearly weeklong visit just how narrow and unworldly her previous Facebook profile photos had been. I dont think my profile photo will ever be the same, not after the experience of taking such incredible pictures with my arms around those small African childrens shoulders.
Honestly, I cant even imagine going back to my old Facebook photo of my roommate and I at an outdoor concert. Since returning, Fisher said she has been encouraging every one of her friends to visit Africa, promising that it would change their Facebook profile photos as well.

to tell the difference between the Onion and the "real" news.
I can see this as an interview on CNN or Fox.
