Well, it's obviously not a real news story; simply written as one. It's not something Snopes will pick up, I don't think. This is not really even a fake news story. It's an analogy, and, IMHO, a very good one, though written as a story.

The real point is that even Deanna Farvre (if there even is such a person; I barely know Brett Farve plays football) wouldn't be that stupid; yet the American public can be.
