In a Nov. 13 story, The Associated Press incorrectly reported that Paris Hilton was praised by conservationists for highlighting the problem of binge-drinking elephants in northeastern India. Lori Berk, a publicist for Hilton, said she never made any comments about helping drunken elephants in India.

That one first sentence says so, so many hilarious and yet sad things about our society. I believe the AP originally credited the story to “a bunch of drunken fratboys”.
