Bogus news story on million-dollar daughter auction causes outrageFri, 30 Apr 2010

Phnom Penh - An article on the front page of one of Cambodia's biggest-selling newspapers has caused outrage after reporting that a woman was auctioning off her highly eligible daughter for 1 million dollars, local media reported Friday.
The article in the Koh Santepheap newspaper said the mother was driven to distraction trying to find a suitor for her foreign-educated and beautiful daughter and decided an auction - with bids starting at 1 million dollars - would resolve the problem.
The only catch? The news story was a disguised advertisement for a movie being filmed for the national television channel CTN, and the so-called facts were the script.
