An April Fools from last year? How original.

58 years and still the sexist and patronizing undertones haven't changed when it comes to the woman who got hit by a meteorite (whose name is actually Ann Hodges).

Friends of hers are still alive, and I'm not sure they would find some of the comments very funny.
