I think the joke is on the journalists. There is clearly a road repair, and a car does not have round edges...

That's what I thought. It seems an unlikely coincidence that the car happened to be parked exactly on the repair. One possibility is that the person they sent out to photograph it photographed the wrong thing. The other possibility is that the entire story is bogus.
