Sunday People: Press Release Masquerading As News

"I've just made up a ludicrous press release no-one will believe."
"Do you think anyone will fall for it?"
"No, anyone with an IQ over 40 will just laugh at its preposterousness. Would even the wildest guesstimate of the number of gay men in the Olympic Village claim it's greater than, say, than the number in Manchester's gay village on a Saturday night?"
"Hmmm... you're right. It would also be really easy to check how many men on Grindr actually are in the Olympic Village."
"Maybe Britain's worst tabloid, the Sunday People will run it though."
"Pink News will probably reprint it."
"It's funny, they keep running puff pieces about Grindr, a fool might think they're angling for advertising."
"And written by "James Park", who doesn't exist, but is rather obviously Pink News' owner Ben Cohen."
"Result! Pub?"

  1. Given that there are only 2 gay men competing, the Grindr crash seems far-fetched.
