For the record, I never thought for more than a few seconds that there could be any truth to this (the time required to read the first few sentences). That is why I pasted the "Georgia Brown" quote in large type. To point out the obvious humor intended by the article. The 'fact checker' stuff I posted was more about revealing some of what I thought were interesting details regarding the photoshop. How they apparently grabbed the photo from Wikipedia, etc. I didn't pick and chose from what else was there. I simply copied the whole thing here.
In any case, people do occasionally post bogus stories and photoshopped images here, clearly believing in their heart and soul that they are for real. The one with John Kerry at the podium with Jane Fonda is one such glaring example. Turned out the image was pieced together with two entirely separate photos. Not that Kerry didn't appear at "anti-war", actually pro-communist, rallies with her, he certainly did, at least once, but the use of that phony image only served to help discredit the legit efforts of people trying to expose him and his communist affiliations.
On the other hand, this particular story here was over-the-top ridiculous from the get-go and probably didn't need any clarifications. Probably. Or should I say, hopefully.

That’s trawling pretty deep to have to go back to something that happened 13 years ago.
Most people have wised up since then.
The do-gooder instinct shown here is just like the SJW community who can’t be offended and need their safe space.
