The Sun - duped by a blogger?

Aladdin, I think you'll like this. Read on.

We all know that the quality of The Sun's journalism is shaky, at best. So it's with great pleasure I bring you this.

"A furious wife has called in divorce lawyers after spotting her husband's car parked outside another woman's house - on Google. She saw the Range Rover while using the internet giant's new Street View service to snoop on a female friend's home. The hubby had claimed he was away on business, but his missus recognised his motor immediately because of its blinged-up hubcaps."

There's just one problem - none of this ever happened. See why here.

Idiots.

Although, that's actually not the case at all.

The article in The Sun is based on an article written by Mark Stephens in The Times.

There's also an article in The Telegraph, also based on the original article in The Times:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/technology/google/5080965/Cheating-husband-spotted-at-mistress-home-on-Google-Street-View.html

So, the article in The Sun is in fact correct.

Just a weird coincidence the blogger who thinks hes hoaxed The Sun also chose the name Mark Stephens to corroborate his story.
Seems he saw Stephens quoted in print and thought that the Sun had used his story. Not true.
