Daily Star publishes another fake story

The website Tabloid Watch, ever vigilant, traced the source of the Star's exclusive to a site called... wait for it... The Spoof.

The Star splash is simply a lift from an item on The Spoof, headlined Chile miner site to be turned into a theme park.

But the Star (prop: Richard Desmond) missed a real scoop from that spoof piece. It claimed a Chilean miner diet book was being prepared so that obese people could lose enough weight to take trips down the mine shaft via the Pegasus 2 capsule (that should be Phoenix 2, or even Fenix 2, but it is a spoof after all).
