[B]Did anyone else see the spoof BBC News website?
A few weeks back I was doing a search on the Queen Mother and came up with a copy of a BBC News web link (under a different URL obviously) which reported the death of the Queen Mum and made jokes about her drinking habits and hip replacements. I sent it on as an e-mail forward at the time and thought nothing more of it until I read last week of a BBC spoof website (probably the same one I imagine) reporting the death of Britney Spears and her boyfriend following an apparent collision with the vehicle in which they were travelling and a pretzel van in New York. The BBC was apparently made aware of the breach of copyright and their lawyers intervened and the site was subsequently closed. Just wondered if anyone else had come across it or similar spoof reports.
