Pravda: Ignorant Of The Internet
Remember when the Governor of the Great State of California was a mere movie actor? One of his more forgettable movies was "Junior." In it, he got pregnant. Stupid dumb comedy, Right?
Not according to Pravda. Today, they featured this headline:
Taiwanese American Lee Mingwei has already become first pregnant man in history
Not that I am picky or anything, but do you think Pravda has ever heard of About.com or Snopes.com? Both of them point out the Lee Mingwei is an artist and the web site Pravda got the story from is a put-on, some sort of "conceptual art" thing.
But then I really shouldn't blame Pravda, they are just practicing journalism in the fine traditions of Dan Rather.
