Woman lies about nazi attack

plebius writes "This story from the BBC tell of a woman who lied about being attacked and covered with swastikas. This shows you the lengths that some women will go to for attention."

Ed. commentary: And it also shows the speed with which people will believe them without corroborating evidence. French newspapers were quick to press with this story, needing days later to retract it based on investigations by the police that showed her story was false. Now we'll see if she is even prosecuted. (She'll probably write a book or something saying why she did it and still get lots of sympathy for essentially perpetuating a public fraud. Ugh.) -- Matt
