Faulty IP Address Data Leads to Shaq Attack on Innocent Family

I found this while looking for lyrics to that old "Shaq Attack" toy commercial (N.B. I did own this toy.) I'm particularly fond of these lines:

"Law enforcement officials and a family in Gretna, Virginia and (sic) learned that lesson the hard way after their home was searched by a law enforcement team that included Miami Heat center Shaquille O'Neal, according to a law enforcement official."

And:
"The spectre of an angry, uniform-wearing Shaq, let alone an entire team of deputies and federal marshalls would be enough to turn one's knees to jelly."

The weird part is there is absolutely NO explanation whatever for why Shaq was even in the area, much less patrolling with federal(!?!) marshalls. Maybe the family was dl'ing copies of Shazaam or his hit CD Diesel and he wanted to talk to the one person batshit crazy enough to want that shit on his computer.
