Landover Baptist is a spoof, and a very funny one, at that.
This however is something else: an organization which calls itself the Bullshit Broadcasting Confederation appropriates the logo of the real BBC, sets up a web page with a fake news story on it (Mel Gibson arrested on terrorism charges) where the links next to the story go back to the real BBC website, and then have the unmitigated gall to say that this is a lesson to teach people to check their sources.
No, it's not. It's fraud, and I hope to God either the real BBC or Gibson (preferably both) sue the ass off these wankers.
It is hard enough to figure out who to trust in the media these days, and there are good guys doing decent work, and this is just damn irresponsible.
