Friday April 27, 2007 | More Bad Reporting: Sheep Poodles | Entertainment |
I seem to be turning into a Friday-only blogger. Times, they are a-busy.
Perhaps you read, in many places, the story about Japanese people getting scammed by people sending them sheep when they ordered poodles? Well, it's fake. Some news sites have pulled the story, but their links remain.
This is what happens when one lazy reporter posts an urban legend as news and all of the other news agencies pick it up. No one does any verification.
Oh, and 3rd Happy Birthday, Blogs.Sun.Com. You don't look a day over two.
