Futurism reported that the story was live for less than an hour before being removed, though its brief contents were archived before the New York Times could get to it.
A "mock article" never meant to be published. Gee, ya think? It was archived before they could delete it. (The internet never forgets.)
The collected comments from Twitter are hysterical. Click Thru.
