Yeah I know what you mean. I did have a search over the net and apparently the dad of the guy who runs it has come out and said he has no idea who this 'Bennett' is, despite him claiming to be his cousin. Some of the supposed jokes just seemed too easily set up and ridiculous, like the whole thing about confusing Vince Vaughan with Van Gogh

But around sites like Reddit and Digg, where posts are upvoted and downvoted, there's an enormous ecosphere of sites that allow you to fake Facebook and iPhone screen shots. People imagine entire conversations, probably inspired by real ones but in this version they're either right or funny, and then post pictures of them hoping to get upvoted. It's very strange. There's so many of them on Reddit that whenever I see a screenshot of any thing of the kind I automatically assume it's faked.

Yeah I understand - but there are definitely people out there who communicate in that manner. I coach several of them.
