He got the desired outrage reactions by the idiots that read and posted on the original story the other day. They probably won't see that it was a lie so that they will continue believing that this guy is a brave little martyr for the "cause".

Did Yahoo publish a retraction?
Ironically, Yahoo did update the original story with a leading paragraph that The Smoking Gun had contacted the restaurant and were told that it was Photoshopped. But, they didn't change the inflammatory headline:
Banker’s Insulting Waitress Tip Incites Class Warfare Between the 1% and the 99%
They did finally follow with two articles:
I’ll be damned...appreciate the heads up.
``Other than that the story is true?’’
It’s not whether the story is true - it’s the SERIOUSNESS of the charges!
