The Daily Sun in South Africa, sort of. An editor at a lunch held for selected readers explained that this image shared on social media was a spoof not created by anyone at the newspaper, and not an original headline or news story.

That I believe, but a lot of article published these days are not spoofs but demonstrations of sheer stupidity. Did you know, and I quote, "There are eight planets in the Solar system and none harbour life." Or how about "I got the corners to put in the parking meter." I come across errors like that daily, and it is getting worse.
