Arizona Minister Conned by a Photoshopped Fake

An Anonymous Coward writes:

An Arizona minister mistook a photoshopped parody of a 1965 suntan lotion ad for a real ad promoting birth control, then used it as the basis for a controversial sermon about how "the birth control movement" is destroying the US. The ad featured wholesome Disney star Annette Funicello who, ironically, was actually pregnant (and married) when she appeared in the original ad. On the one-year anniversary of her death, the minister's mistake resulted in an erroneous summation of his sermon appearing whenever you searched Google News for Annette Funicello, along with the headline "Childless women on birth control have destroyed the U.S."
