Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Due to the memetic nature of the anomaly, SCP-XXXX cannot be physically contained at this time. Until the triggering mechanisms are fully understood, Stationary Task Force Psi-4 ("Paper-Mache Cascade") is to generate and disseminate a counter-meme via Procedure Hearst-141 with one D-Class personnel once a month.

[FURTHER INFORMATION UNAVAILABLE TO YOUR SECURITY LEVEL]
Description: SCP-XXXX is a three-stage infectious cognitohazard which hijacks the thought processes of XXXX-1 to encourage its propogation, and is frequently mis-identified as a short story about an amusing event or anecdote. Progression is denoted both by the anecdote's level of complexity and the approximate incidence at which the anecdote takes up thought processes. While individuals infected with SCP-XXXX are difficult to identify in Stage 1 or Stage 2 of infection, at all stages they will utilize any method of gathering information (online search engines, library newsprint catalogues, gossip, etc.) for
"child receiving driver's license in idaho"the anecdote. While the exact phrasing of the XXXX-2 statement changes from month to month, the anecdote is identical across all XXXX-1 at any given time. Applying amnestics to one individual prior to counter-memetic neutralization will cause the SCP-XXXX statement to change in all affected instantaneously. How it does so is unknown.
[INFORMATION NOT AVAILABLE AT YOUR SECURITY LEVEL]
The infection progresses through the following stages:
Stage 1: ([REDACTED: SECURITY LEVEL INSUFFICIENT]) Outside of those who have read XXX-positive text, this stage is difficult to identify, beyond the search query "[REDACTED]the child receiving a driver's license in idaho". At this point, XXXX-1 will mis-identify XXXX-infection as an anecdote of unknown origin.
Note: All deaths attributed to SCP-XXXX are a secondary result of infection. SCP-XXXX is not lethal, and XXXX-1's lifespan is not directly altered.
Stage 2: ([REDACTED]) At this point, XXXX-1 will begin seeing SCP-XXXXdid you hear about Mikey, the child receiving their driver's license in idaho? appear in place of text in written documentation. XXXX-1 progressing from Stage 2 to Stage 3 infection will occasionally utter the anecdote, often unconsciously and repeatedly.like "Did you hear about Mikey, the child getting their driver's license in Grangeville, Idaho?"[[/span]]
Stage 3: ([REDACTED]) XXXX-1 who reach Stage 3 infection will become unable to cease thinking about the anecdote, and will display a low-level reality-altering ability, unconsciously altering physical and displayed text around them and inserting XXXX-2 information.
Did you hear about Michael O'Connell, the child who's getting his driver's license in Grangeville, Idaho? He's technically four-and-a-half years old, since he was born on February 29th.
