Strangest Businesswire Story of the Day

Okay, this is hands-down the strangest headline (and story) I've ever seen to cross a supposedly fact-based newswire:

Who Blew Up WWE(R) Chairman Mr. McMahon?
Tuesday June 12, 11:23 am ET

STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--While some might say "The Sopranos" went out with a whimper, last night on USA Network, WWE's "Monday Night RAW®" went out with a bang. At the end of his self-anointed "Mr. McMahon Appreciation Night," WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon entered his limousine when it suddenly exploded. The shocking ending raised a myriad of questions: How could Mr. McMahon have survived the fiery explosion? And who could've committed such a heinous act?

Although full details have not been disclosed, initial reports indicate that Mr. McMahon is presumed dead. An official investigation into Monday night's events is currently underway with no one being ruled out as a suspect. Throughout the night, people from Mr. McMahon's past - from Donald Trump to Snoop Dogg to Bob Costas to Stone Cold Steve Austin(TM) - had less than flattering things to say about the WWE Chairman, but would any go so far as to actually blow him up?

I'm assuming we'll shortly see an SEC filing saying "our CEO blew up". I can't wait.
