One Giant slip in Bangladesh News
Two Bangladeshi newspapers have apologised after publishing an article taken from a satirical US website which claimed the Moon landings were faked.
The Daily Manab Zamin said US astronaut Neil Armstrong had shocked a news conference by saying he now knew it had been an "elaborate hoax". Neither they nor the New Nation, which later picked up the story, realised the Onion was not a genuine news site. Source: BBC NEWS | South Asia | One giant slip in Bangladesh news |

Reason 2256 why I love the Internet.
News people sometimes use The Onion as their sources. I read the article when it came out on their website (Onion Fan <3) and I found it really funny. But what I found even funnier was who was actually going to believe all of it and use it.
