So, as noted the other day, when you post a news article link on Twutter it no longer shows the headline, leaving open the possibility of the user coming up with a completely different one in the post. This is not one of those cases. I saw someone post it on Mastodon and was obviously immediately struck by it, and I also didn’t believe the bit where they said it was real… but it was; had to dig down into the timeline a few days to find it, but indeed it turned out not to have been faked. The above is my own screenshot of the thing. Curiously enough, the headline of the actual article is something else:
…and the bit about the “perverted sexual behaviour” only appears in the second-last paragraph, 16th out of 17. I can only assume that whoever manages the FT’s Twitter felt the lede was being buried…
