Local Facebook Group Social Experiment Successful

HAGERSTOWN, MD - A local social experiment involving multiple Facebook groups has been declared a huge success.

Researchers created multiple Facebook groups with similar names, such as "Whats Going on in Hagerstown", "What's REALLY Going on in Hagerstown", "What's Going on in the 4 State", etc.

"After the huge success of Hagerstown Yard Sale and its ability to show that people will argue over anything and everything when it comes to buying and selling stuff, we wanted to follow up with a more impressive study to find out what local people are actually doing and thinking in this area," said one of the researchers. "So, we created these groups with all the same theme, and applied different degrees of administrators and rules, and measured responses to different posts and situations. It was all really quite fascinating!"

And the final conclusion of the experiment?

"Well, we started out asking the basic question of What's Going On... and the answer became very clear."

The entire study was summarized with a single sentence.

"Drama; that's what is going on in our area."

No local residents were tortured with a cattle prod while writing this article. The Hagerstown Report is a satire website.
