NY Times - Really Biased? Or Really Blond?

Back in 2002, a hoax was circulated about Blondes becoming extinct.  Many of the major news outlets of the day bought it hook, line and sinker.  Ok, great April Fools Joke and many had a good laugh at the expense of some red faced journalist who forgot to verify sources.

Now, 3 1/2 years later, late to the ball as usual, comes the NY Times with the same story!  I guess it is true what they say about blondes.  It takes them awhile to get the joke!

Or maybe the NY Times is just a joke?
