How's this for a headline?

"Cancun kidnapping, crocodile attack a hoax: RCMP"

From the article:

"The RCMP says a story about a young man from B.C. on holiday in Cancun, Mexico, who was kidnapped outside a bar, forced to fight two other tourists, shot in the shoulder and dumped in the water where he was attacked by crocodiles, is a fabrication."

[...]

"RCMP said the incident began when a 20-year-old man decided to urinate in a crocodile lagoon in the resort area of Cancun, despite signs in English and Spanish warning of its toothy inhabitants. Alcohol was a factor, police said.


The man apparently was bitten on the leg by a small crocodile and fell on the rocks in the water, where he was attacked by some other 30-centimetre crocodiles, said Cpl. Jennifer Pound, in a statement released on Thursday."
LOL! Eejit. And kudos to the CBC for their subheading: "Piddle in wrong puddle".

  1. Hmm, it sounds like this guy was setting out to prove that drunk college guys really can be as stupid as people think.

    Silver Fox, I LOVE it when I see a glimpse of humour in a news article!
