An article I was hearing quoted as fact, comes with this disclaimer:
World News Daily Report assumes all responsibility for the satirical nature of its articles and for the fictional nature of their content. All characters appearing in the articles in this website – even those based on real people – are entirely fictional and any resemblance between them and any person, living, dead or undead, is purely a miracle.

The rumour has been circulating for a few years now and was debunked.

It's sad that some agencies publish satire that seems so real. It's easy to mislead even well-meaning people and that can have serious, long-term consequences, e.g. established religions - misleading people for millennia.
