Unusual home invasion in Ohio (Update: fake? real!)

From Ohio's Beacon Journal, this breaking news:

 Beacon Story A 38-year-old Cole Avenue man reported that his home was invaded on Sept. 9. The man said he was sitting home alone masturbating and watching a pornographic movie when a man came down into the basement, holding a gun, and started to videotape him. The man said that before he left, the intruder fed his dog some mushrooms and the dog died.

UPDATE: In the comments section, Dave says:

"I think you guys were had on this one. A search of ohio.com does not bring this article up."


UPDATE 2:

In a selfless quest for the truth, I sacrificed $2.95 to buy the 3000-word "Crime Watch" section from the September 21, 2003 edition of the Akron Beacon. Yes, the article really did appear in the paper. (Click on image for enlargement)
