POP QUIZ

See if you can guess which of the following stories is serious, and which one is a joke, without Googling or peeking at the tell-tale URLs:

    * Actress Susan Sarandon has told the press she is tired of being portrayed as anti-American just because she hates America.
    * Singer Madonna shot a video depicting her throwing a grenade at George W. Bush, but ultimately scrapped the idea fearing that her critics might accuse her of lacking patriotism.

UPDATE: Roger Friedman of FoxNews argues that this was just a clever marketing ploy to gain well-timed notoriety. Time will tell, maybe.
