"Geoff" our internet virgin has come clean and revealed himself to be Matthew, a no-good internet marketer pulling the wool over the eyes of innocent internet users, blog readers and Toronto Sun readers. Have you no shame Matthew! Think of all those innocent people who you deceived. Now we'll never be able to trust anything we read on the internet ever again.
Torontoist is going to drown his sorrows by writing to that Nigerian widow whose husband's money is sadly lost in a Swiss bank account. If you can't trust a Nigerian widow who can you trust?

The fact that this made front page news is fucking pathetic.
But at least now I know that if I were to fall off the monkey bars and cry a river, one day I too can be front page material.
Goes to show how much the fact checkers at the Sun SUCK
Goes to show how much the Sun SUCKS, period.
LOL. Now the Sun is spinning it like they "exposed" the hoax: http://www.torontosun.com/News/2006/05/17/1584644.html
smh
I'd like to believe that he is a real virign. He's changing his story because he couldn'y hadnle the spotlight.
Oh my god I hate the Toronto Sun. In my youth I would remove the wire parts from bulldog clips and drop them in the coin slots of Sun newspaper boxes.
"I apologize to the people of Toronto and everyone from around the world who saw our site," the statement reads. "We did not expect this idea to go so far, and the real connections so many of the visitors to the site made to 'Geoff's' story has made this experience especially difficult."
translation:
"I am exceedingly happy about how this all went down. It made me some money and gt me on the cover of a tabloid twice. Any publicity is good publicity right??? I don't give a shit about "real connections", just as long as they click on my porn banner ads".
Oh... well? This is news? Who actually reads the Sun anyway?
"no-good internet marketer pulling the wool over the eyes of innocent internet users,"
Innocent internet users?
Oh shut up! Stop acting like people can't think for themselves. I saw this story and paid absolutely no attention to it. Why? Because it's bullshit to begin with. I guess there was nothing more important going on in the world at the time P=
Why do people care about some loser virgin that can't get laid?
This was a perfect example of how stupid people really are and how they have nothing better do with their lives.
