Oranges and genes

A revelation has shook the very foundations of the scientific community.

According to genetic researcher Kasumi Mitsubishi, he had succeeded in genetically modifying the humble orange into a new fruit he calls 'red'.

Mitsubishi says after three years of intensive gene splicing and other scientific stuff, he has managed to find and replace the 'orange' gene of an orange and substitute it with a 'red' gene.
The result is a completely new fruit which he has dubbed 'red'.

Mitsubishi has announced his discovery on monday and has made plans to sell the new fruit with the company that brought us cubed watermelons and seedless grapes.

But the citizens of Japan that were salivating at the opportunity to shove another abomination of nature into their throats were soon met with disappointment

A few days later, it was discovered that Mitsubishi had in fact been deceiving the scientific community by faking his discovery, when under going testing of the new fruit 'red' researchers found that it was in fact an apple that was beaten into the shape of an orange with a meat tenderiser.

Mitsubishi is currently on trial for crimes against humanity.
