It would make sense to be local news..

To be news spread beyond local, no..

Because it's a nottheonion-y title.

The website that published the news is a local news site.

Articles and titles need to be oniony though. Not just the title.

It makes a good off beat story. No national news should be making it front page (unless maybe if it was a news agency focused on LGBTQ+ politics) but it makes for a fun paragraph to fill a gap in a page halfway through a paper, mainly just so some cub reporter has an excuse to come up with some good James Bond (007) jokes

Reminds me of that gay James Bond skit that defeated his enemy by cancelling them

Coincidentally, there is a legit documentary about people named James Bond coming out next month and they released the trailer today:

The one who inspired Fleming to use the name for the character was an American Ornithologist who wrote Birds of the West Indies. In Die Another Day, you can see Bond reading it.
