Even the "Tough shit" quote didn't trip her sarcasm detector?  Wow.  A 
journalist would never print that, it would be euphemized.  We still 
believe strongly in the absurdity of taboo words here.  Silly rabbit!

When I was new to the whole intarweb thingy a decade or so ago I got 
suckered once, too.  We all make mistakes, right?

I think there would be some interesting research prospects for 
sociologists (or whoever) on the credulity of people when it comes to 
the things they read at their computer.
