In December, an employee at WILX News Ten snapped a photo of a bathroom in Haslett. The photo was posted to social news site Reddit where it was viewed over 600,000 times.

Recently, the photo has become viral again, as tweets and blogs have picked up the photo and attributed it to being snapped in Sochi as one of the now infamous "Sochi Fail" photos. It was even featured by Conan O'Brien on his late-night talk show. We went back to Haslett to debunk that myth.
