Satire site fools everybody, but not intentionally

I mean, come on, the site's header says "Indiana's first source for inaccurate news and commentary since 2003." Did you really think they'd be the one to break a story? Apparently the folks at the San Diego Union-Tribune, did, as they ran this story in their sports section. The story goes on about how Purdue University recruited the wrong Jason Smith -- instead of recruiting the 6'6" athlete, they recruited the 5'5", 128-pound nerd. The story made the national radio circuit (all claiming they knew exclusive information), and the Union-Tribune made the mistake of printing it. Meanwhile, the Hoosier Gazette is laughing at everybody.
