Sadly, it's already been put up on Snopes. It's a hoax.

I have to admit I found it rather hard to believe.

Hilarious either way though... if it was in the onion, it woulda been good to go :D

Yeah, I'm kinda disappointed. As stupid as it would be, it really only confirmed my low opinion on people in general. Sure, I fell for it, however I know people who are dumb enough to have fallen for the sheep scam. Hell, how many people have gone for Scientology? That's so much dumber than mistaking a sheep for a poodle...

Anyway, I'm sure that there is a reporter at MSN who's brushing up their resume as we speak...

whose release is fertile ground for conspiracy theory (worked for 28-or so years with excellent performance, apparently an 'anonymous' tip called her resume into question, leading to an investigation and her resignation)

a blogger pegged the blame on a feminist group at MIT, but the guy worked for the 'mens news daily' or some such... so I don't know how much stock to put in it as being anything but biased.http://mensnewsdaily.com/2007/04/27/the-real-reason-
