Comments on: Kellogg’s to burn logo on to corn flakes with a laser. Except they’re not.

Needless to say the newspapers duly printed loads of stories called 'Michael Schumacher is the Stig' - despite the fact that it was obviously false. It was an obvious case of the perpetrators, publishers and readers all realizing that this wasn't actually true - but the papers published it anyway. Incredible.
