McCain volunteer admits to hoax
'B' on her cheek, black eye were likely self-inflicted


Almost from the start, Pittsburgh police were skeptical about a young woman's claim that she had been mugged and a "B" carved into her cheek by an attacker who was provoked by the sight of a John McCain bumper sticker on her car.

Yesterday, their doubts were confirmed when 20-year-old Ashley Todd, a McCain volunteer from College Station, Texas, admitted that she made the whole thing up.

There was no black man with a knife, no robbery, no physical assault.
And the backwards "B" on her cheek? She's not sure, she told police, but assumes she did that herself. As for the black eyes, police assume they likewise were self-inflicted.

It sounded a bit too fishy to begin with.

Shows the extent some people will go to for their party.

Isn't there already a thread about this?

Joey, you're unabashedly trolling for attention.
