I've been a long time "Rumor Control" fan, but this time it's getting too unprofessional and handled tastelessly.

After reading the headline, sub-heading and the article serveral times, as well as most of the comments by GS users, I'm still disgusted by the fact that this "bogus" does not deserve to be reported, even for the sake of clearing up a rumor. Its headline and sub-title are misleading, it did not deliver the key message accurately nor directly. It would have been fine if most readers didn't feel cheated until they have finished the whole article. But unfortunately most of us did. You had us fooled by making us believe the rumor was true and then took it away just like that. I personally don't think that's how journalism works. If anything, you're making fun of your readers rather than giving us a decent attractive headline.
