Nick Sylvester, one of Village Voice's editors, was suspened from his position after he fabricated a cover story published on Village Voice's website which was withdrawn by the site. Whatever fabrication will do no good for scientists, editors or many more....
The article was entitled "Do You Wanna Kiss Me?" by senior associate editor Nick Sylvester. He had claimed he met at a local bar with three TV writers who had flown in from Los Angeles to test their version of pickup techniques from Neil Strauss's book, "The Game." Strauss is the ex-New York Times music writer and biographer of porn star Jenna Jameson.
Sylvester filed this note to readers at the paper's Web site:
"I did not meet Steve Lookner in New York at Bar 151. The trip and my encounter with him, DC, and Vali did not happen as I reported, or at all. The scene was a composite of specific anecdotes shared to me primarily by the two other parties, DC and Vali; Lookner did not share or take part in these anecdotes either. I deeply regret this misinformation, and I apologize to Lookner for his distress, which I certainly never intended." (Link)
