Epic stupidity

A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a story about a woman in Vancouver, WA who was allegedly attacked in a very horrific manner: someone had reportedly splashed acid on her face. Something didn't seem to add up. I don't know - maybe I get a bit suspicious whenever the alleged perpetrator is a random anonymous black guy or gal (Seriously? Folks need to stop watching "Cops"). Well, story seemed to go away with no follow-up. Then the story re-emerged. Turned out, there was a problem with the original story: it was all a hoax. Apparently it was a botched suicide attempt.
