Whoops.

A US advice columnist called Miss Lonleyhearts answered a very heartfelt plea this week, from a man who desperately needed some answers about how to raise his children.

The only problem? The man’s life sounded familiar. Very familiar. As in, it was the exact story of loveable dad Danny Tanner from Full House. And poor Miss Lonleyhearts never saw it coming.

Here’s the letter she received:

Sounds suss…

Well, it did sound suss to everyone except MissLonleyhearts, who responded to ‘Desperate Dad’ with some very earnest advice like,”Why not have three loving, trustable men raising a family? Plus you can get female babysitters, neighbours and other members of the family circle to come over for play dates, stroller-walking and help at bedtime.” (Yeah like Aunt Becky!)

The column has obviously gone viral now, since MissLonleyhearts was also tricked into believing a problem based on Breaking Bad last year.

Someone needs to catch up on their TV, asap.
