Sen. Ted Cruz's new book 'A Time for Truth' offers some new insight into the mind of the GOP presidential candidate. It also has angered some of the Texas senator's rivals.

Obviously, it's a hoax, but we're guessing Team Ted Cruz isn't laughing.

Someone thought it would be funny to offer a "special evening" with the Republican candidate for president. The evening in Houston would involve Netflix, but there won't be movie-watching involved.

"Netflix and chill" is 2015 slang for sex, and it has spawned popular memes. It even inspired a business venture in Austin.

Unsurprisingly, there has been plenty of mocking of another hoax tweet going viral.

At this time, there has been no response from the Cruz campaign, but the contest appears nowhere on Republican candidate's site.
