This was a hoax!

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,...est=latestnews

A story about a cheating husband who admitted his infidelity on a sign he wore near a busy Virginia intersection was a hoax, according to a local radio station.

Washington D.C.'s Hot 99.5 "Kane in the Morning" show revealed that it was behind the stunt involving William Taylor, who stood in front of Tyson's Corner Mall in northern Virginia with a sign that read "I cheated. This is my punishment," MyFOXDC reported.

The morning radio show said it staged the story as an experiment to see how much press it would receive in light of other major news happening at the same time. Last week's media coverage was dominated by the death of Sen. Ted Kennedy.
Taylor, who stood outside the shopping center during the morning commute last Wednesday, originally told MyFOXDC that he and his wife had agreed to the deal.

"I thought she was kidding, but she was serious," he said. "I figured I got to do what I got to do to makes things right. So here I am."

I'm glad it was a hoax. Maybe that means that there aren't couples that dumb in the world! I knew there was something off about this. I just couldn't put my finger on it!

so even though this one was a hoax, something VERY similar happened in my hometown!

A husband cheated on a wife so SHE stood outside his office during the rush hours with a sign that said what he did and what he owes her.... (I guess they were in the middle of a divorce and he didn't want to give her any money or anything) It was REALLLLLLLLLLLLY funny....... in a sad way...

I am so glad it was a hoax. I wouldnt want to be married to someone who not only cheated but agreed to publicly humiliate himself.
