there seem to be a lot of "people" on the european facebook pages suddenly asking "Is this gramophone real?". With an accompanying picture of a crapophone. Looks like people are playing games.
better just to ignore.
any thoughts?

These are bots acting to increase the volume of interaction. Facebook is riddled with these, including also the generic questions backed by a bright colour background. Ignoring would be the right reaction, however the creators of the bots know that humans tend to react and type responses.

I'm glad I don't have a FB account and generally avoid all types of social media.
