Dating a comic story carried by CNN

Because it was just so compelling!

We posted about an article on Friday (click here or scroll down) that was carried on TheFrisky.com with the byline of “Anonymous.” Now, it’s been picked up by CNN.com and the byline is “Mary Swanson.”

We were doubtful that it was real when it first ran. Now that CNN.com has slapped the Mary Swanson byline on it, we’re even more suspicious. Mary Swanson? Really? No bio on Swanson at the end. Hmmm… Something doesn’t smell right.
