just read in hindu today , the details regarding the hoax and how media had fallen to it . the article goes on to quote the dailies creative add ons for a good measure also..what amuses me though is a decent newspaper like "the indian express " also had got hooked like all other b grade dailies to seek a cheap sensation .. read this article in the hindu dated 1.7.2008 .. on the right bottom side of the centre editorial sheet (i think the title somewhat goes like "interesting stories that are too good to be checked " or something like that)
