Most popular 'death' was Paul Oakenfold with 2,500 views...

Now, back to my life of not being in jail

# yeah, I know
I got 35,000 visits over 2 days, plus a couple of mails threatening me with lawyers.

It's now called "Fake someones completely shallow pointless news story"...

The Paul Oakenfold thing is everywhere....

I could get my connection turned off, so I'm taking the safe content route for now - if anyone complains to them, rather than me, I'm screwed...

If anyone would care to write some content for obviously fake stories or strange fullfy ones, great...

Disclaimers may work, but kinda defeat the object of it...

Bummer really, cos I like the hit count ;)
