A few months ago, Bill O’Reilly cited a study in the non-existent Paris Business Review which stated that France was losing billions of dollars thanks to O’Reilly’s boycott.

Thanks to the Fark.com’s forum, I just learned that there are not one, but two Paris Business Review web sites in operation- ParisBusinessReview.com (buy a mug!) details the devastation wreaked by Bill O’Reilly’s boycott:

The other, ParisBusinessReview.net appears to have gone meta- it claims to be the legitimate web presence of the non-existent business magazine. Despite it’s attempt at minimalist legitimacy, the site’s sole purpose seems to be to portray Bill O’Reilly as a clueless moron.

One last thing- both domains were registered after Bill O’Reilly invented the publication. This wasn’t an April fools joke that O’Reilly fell for, this is a source that O’Reilly made up out of whole cloth, a fabrication, to give his France boycott legitimacy. I just find it hilarious.

If you haven’t already read Media Matters coverage of this, what are you waiting for?
