The sad thing is that so many people fell for this obvious hoax.

Ought to give one a good indication of how unreliable news sources can be.

Apparently it turned up in the Sun newspaper in the UK and they never let something like real facts get in the way. What do you expect from it, The Sun is owned by Rupert Murdoch.
