The Onion headline or Real News Story?

Apparently a 17-year-old named Mike Rowe is getting threatened with legal action because Microsoft of his site, MikeRoweSoft.com(say the name out loud). Microsoft offered him ten dollars to transfer his domain name and Rowe refused for less than ten thousand, claiming he had already spent a lot of time and effort on his part-time business, including spending money to print stationary. Microsoft then accused Rowe of making the business just to get bought out from Microsoft and sent him a 25-page letter saying why his site would be confused with their site.

The news has apparently made his site so popular that it was down the last time I tried to access it. If you want to see it, here is the Google cache of MikeRoweSoft.com

Hehe, it makes me laugh.
