Fyndin frétt

Fyrir nokkrum dögum birti Laukurinn "viðtal" við Apollo geimfarann Neil Armstrong þar sem hann tjáði blaðamönnum Lauksins að samsærissinni hafi sannfært sig um að tungllendingin hefði aldrei átt sér stað. Þetta viðtal er hin mesta snilld. Í viðtalinu "segir" Neil:

"It only took a few hastily written paragraphs published by this passionate denier of mankind's so-called 'greatest technological achievement' for me to realize I had been living a lie, " said a visibly emotional Armstrong, addressing reporters at his home. "It has become painfully clear to me that on July 20, 1969, the Lunar Module under the control of my crew did not in fact travel 250,000 miles over eight days, touch down on the moon, and perform various experiments, ushering in a new era for humanity. Instead, the entire thing was filmed on a soundstage, most likely in New Mexico."

"This is the only logical interpretation of the numerous inconsistencies in the grainy, 40-year-old footage," Armstrong added.

Mér fannst þetta samt best,

He also admitted feeling "ashamed" that he had failed to notice the rippling of the American flag he and Buzz Aldrin planted on the surface, blaming his lack of awareness on the bulkiness of the spacesuit and his excitement about traveling to the "moon."

"That rippling is not possible in the vacuum of space," Armstrong said. "It must have been the wind from an air-conditioning duct that I didn't recognize because you can't hear a damn thing inside those helmets."

"This is all just common sense, people," he added. "It's the moon. You can't land on the moon."

"Yes, at the time I thought those thousands of NASA employees were working round the clock for the same incredible goal, but if anyone would know what was really going on, it would be Ralph Coleman," Armstrong said of the 31-year-old part-time librarian's assistant. "He knows a lot more about faked moon landings than I ever could. He's been researching the subject on the Internet for years."

"Literally years," he added.

Þetta er einfaldlega bestu rök gegn tungllendingarsamsærisbullinu sem ég hef heyrt hingað til. Sýnir fáránleikann vel. 

Þessi frétt BBC er samt eiginlega kostulegri en upphaflega "frétt" Lauksins. Einhver tvö dagblöð í Bangladess héldu viðtalið væri raunverulegt og birtu raunverulega frétt um það!

Eðal fréttamennska í Bangladess, og ég sem hélt að það væru bara íslenskir fréttahaukar sem þýddu (oftast illa) greinar af netinu.

Þetta var alveg örugglega laukrétt  frétt.
