I think his only mistake is not making it just a bit more obvious that it was a fake article. I agree that it is the journalists' responsibility (aka "job") to research stories like this before printing them. Unfortunately the internet is exposing thousands of "journalists" every day for being the hacks they are and they don't like it. Tough, it ain't gonna stop. Anyone remember the article about 50 midgets fighting a lion? The AP picked it up and it went everywhere in about 5 seconds. Anyone reading this story should know it was a joke. I think the take away here is don't write your fake articles too well or the stupids won't get it. Heh, that article is actually pretty funny.

Perhaps Lyndon would have avoided some criticism if he had put some disclaimer on the post. Besides, your own 'linkbaits' about Google and Britney, Darren, and Jeremy are somewhat accurate compared to Lyndon's fiction.. Interesting post.
