And that variation, When Stupid People Believe an Onion Article:
Congressman Falls for The Onion's Planned Parenthood 'Abortionplex' Story
Meet John Fleming, the unfortunate Republican U.S. Representative from Louisiana who made that wonderful and all-too-common mistake of thinking that an Onion article was real and telling his Facebook followers to read it.

WRRTO story of the year, so far:
Chess Championships Lose Sex Appeal With New No-Cleavage Rule
This isn?t the beer pong world championships ? distractions during a championship chess game are surely unwarranted. An opponent across the table sporting a low-cut top could cause even the most expert chessman to focus on checking her out rather than delivering checkmate. So the European Chess Union has decided to lay out a dress code to keep the classiness in the game.

Sounds like it will smell like a dirty whore convention.
Bet this will all backfire and the neighbors and local businesses will be really pissed off once the day is through and the stink from all those dead rotten fish continue to waft through the air.
