OMFG: The Today Show deletes article on vegan lasagna after getting punked by 'Dick Chmeller' [screenshots]

If you were on Twitter earlier this week, you probably saw this dumb photo flying around allegedly of a “vegan lasagna”:

Well, leave it to the Today Show to turn that photo into an entire article after finding the origin of the photo on 4Chan. Yeah, your spidey sense should be tingling right now:

That article is now deleted, but the person on 4Chan they quoted in the article was named “Dich Chmeller” as in “dick smeller”:

Dick Chmeller.

Oh, but it gets worse. Chmeller told the NBC reporter that he “lost most of his genitalia” in an industrial accident at work and he invented this recipe for his wife and her new lover, Omar. Screenshots:
