In the September 3, 2009 issue, fake news source The Onion reported that astronaut Neil Armstrong had been persuaded that the Apollo 11 moon landing was faked. Several newspapers in Bangladesh (the New Nation and the Daily Manab Zamin) picked up the story and ran it as legitimate news.

The Onion story lede:

"Apollo 11 mission commander and famed astronaut Neil Armstrong shocked reporters at a press conference Monday, announcing he had been convinced that his historic first step on the moon was part of an elaborate hoax orchestrated by the United States government."

On May 22, 2002, The Onion reported that a factual error has been found on the Internet:

LONGMONT, CO—The Information Age was dealt a stunning blow Monday, when a factual error was discovered on the Internet. The error was found on TedsUltimateBradyBunch.com, a Brady Bunch fan site that incorrectly listed the show's debut year as 1968, not 1969.

Caryn Wisniewski, a Pueblo, CO, legal secretary and diehard Brady Bunch fan, came across the mistake while searching for information about the show's first-season cast.

"When I first saw 1968 on the web page, I thought, 'Wow, apparently, all those Brady Bunch books I've read listing 1969 as the show's first year were wrong,'" Wisniewski told reporters at a press conference. "But even though I obviously trusted the Internet, I was still kind of puzzled. So I checked other Brady Bunch fan sites, and all of them said 1969. After a while, it slowly began to sink in that the World Wide Web might be tainted with unreliable information."

I agree with Vidalia and being from Hawaii makes me tear up even more. I too love the Onion and remember it from when I spent some time in DC when I got it in print, but do love the online version as well. So its printed in Denver huh?
