After 40 minutes of trying to explain Snopes.com and other intracacies of the story, Lubin said he gave up and ended the conversation
So, who was the "dense" one in that 40 minutes?

What is so hard to explain about, "Jay didn't write the whole thing. Leno's joke was added to the end, but the first chunk was written by _____ (edited by the internet, of course)"

Nice to see even more recognition coming to Snopes.com!

D'oh!

Last week we got a letter from NBC's legal department demanding that we remove our article because, apparently, our informing readers that Jay Leno didn't actually write the item in question was "false and misleading" and "has led many people to erroneously conclude that Mr. Leno in fact wrote the article."
