Folks, if you plan on writing a high-larious "fake news" prank, please make sure that you actually have a good grasp of style. If you want people to believe your story is real, you have to learn how to write just like the big kids write. Otherwise, you're only embarrassing yourself.

Good lord.

I've read enough poorly written press releases that I probably wouldn't have discounted it based on just that alone

Yeah, me too. Heck, I've read worse things on actual Yahoo News.

Of course, the press release came from PRweb, which is a free distribution service. Any schmoe can go and submit a press release about anything.

I'm seriously considering writing one up and submitting it the next time Abbie throws up, just to make a point.
