As you can imagine, the media ran with the story, creating
a minor furor. A few environmental organizations even asked Congress to
look into the matter.

That sounds like more UL to me. I've never seen even one story, let
alone one falling for the spoof, in any media.

Penn and Teller did this on their Showtime show (Bull***t). They
got people to sign a petition to ban dihydrogen monoxide and had
several "spokespersons" for various enviro orgs endorsing their
efforts. Would have been funny, if it wasn't so tragic.
