    Two Bangladeshi newspapers have apologised after publishing an article taken from a satirical US website which claimed the Moon landings were faked.

    The Daily Manab Zamin said US astronaut Neil Armstrong had shocked a news conference by saying he now knew it had been an "elaborate hoax".

    Neither they nor the New Nation, which later picked up the story, realised the Onion was not a genuine news site.

    Reason 2256 why I love the Internet.
    News people sometimes use The Onion as their sources.

    I read the article when it came out on their website (Onion Fan <3) and I found it really funny. But what I found even funnier was who was actually going to believe all of it and use it.
