    Did anyone read that article before the paper released this story? You would seriously have to be trying REALLY hard to miss all the sarcasm in it.

    Were only Fox News as professional as Bangladeshi newspaper editors. Although even with a 24/7 hole, I'm quite certain they wouldn't finish with their corrections well until the next decade.

    Of course the moon landings weren't faked. They filmed the landing on a real set. What's wrong with these people?

    We can argue all day about whether it was REAL real or not. Considering that space shuttles are glorified tin cans lined with foam core, there's no logical way that a man-made shuttle (we can't even build our damn CARS right) would survive an exit AND re-entry into Earth's flaming atmosphere that even asteroids can't get through without losing some serious weight. Brag about the "landing" till the cows come home. Prove it. Do it again. And again. And again.

    And AGAIN. Send the leaders of all the world's nations up there, if it's so "genuine".

    My "prove it" challenge, however, will stand till the day they put Paris Hilton on the moon. Then maybe I'll shut my trap about it. *thhbhtbht!* :P

    Yes know I th ink of how when I was a machhinist for 10 years we would always get the newbies good and here are a few things we did to show how dumb folks are.
    1.We would get folks to look for the BRASS MAGENT

    2.We would send them to look for a "CLIT" Cutters and the boss always sent em up to the secretary who would tell em to get the hell out of their office.

    man we had some stupid ones.and just think of all these morons out there who think the moon landing was a conspiracy.

    This reminds me of the time I nearly got sent to prison for telling the UCLA cheerleaders that my penis was actually a magic flute that would make implants unnecessary.

    On the one hand I think this is hilarious.

    On the other, it makes me sad to think how many people might not see the apology and are wandering around thinking that the moon landing was faked. There were enough people like that to begin with, we don’t need any more.

    @CoffinDodger (If the typos crap. Blame my keyboard): It's not really a big surprise. Most of our newspapers just copy stuff from internet and publish them without even verifying the source. Sometimes they don't even mention the source either.

    I sent an e-mail to a leading newspaper drawing their attention to this, and guess what, they published my mail after proper "polishing".

    Some of you may know about the media circus over the so called "Bangladeshi Taj". The journalists were too lazy to visit the site. So they just collected news from the internet and caused total pandemonium. People rushed to the site only to be disappointed.

    @CoffinDodger (If the typos crap. Blame my keyboard): yeah we get that too.

    "A dog has fallen down a cliff and survived in UK!" (replace UK with any foreign country of your preference)

    We Bangladeshis dig anything of foreign origin! Whether it's the alleged dog or its shit.

    I blame globalization ...or internet.

    I freaked out when I found out the video for Tonight Tonight by the Smashing Pumpkins was based on Le voyage dans la lune.
