1:00 PM -- It sounded too crazy to be true, and it was, according to the Gawker blog:
..."13-year-old Steals Dad's Credit Car to Buy Hookers," a realistic-looking "news story"... was invented by an online marketer to boost a client's SEO ranking. And no one on Digg or anywhere else BUSTED the hoax.
Red Panda offers deepest apologies and promises to work harder in the future to uphold the integrity of weird news.
