The story appears to originate with "Van Stone" who claims to be a "crediable" writer for the "Scoop USA Newspaper". The website is http://www.scoopusanewspaper.com/. At first glance, it doesn't strike me as a "crediable" news source. ;-)
Based on the blog entry he posted his info to, it would appear that the story is about a year old. (http://joetrippi.com/?p=1763)
