A lovely closet Skeptic sent me proof that not only Ben was scoffing down ice cream at leafy Hampstead yesterday, but also that Seb had seen a picture of him scoffing down said ice-cream and knew that he wasn’t scoffing down said ice-cream with his wife.
Let’s take this from the start, shall we?
At 01:44 in the morning, the Fail publishes this article, and the closet Skeptic who shall remain anonymous catches a glimpse of it on pressreader.com. The first article published on the Fail during the night includes a pic of Ben scoffing down ice-cream. Because… ice-cream:
The write up is the same as the one that the Fail kept on the later ammended article, although Seb or an eagle eyed editor on the Fail must have realised the above picture shows Ben in the company of a brunette man with man hands, that’s wearing men’s clothes, who’s not wearing Weirdo’s engagement and wedding ring, and who’s taller than Ben.
So they take down the pic at 8:48 in the morning:
and replace it with a picture of Ben in Sherlock garb, but keep the write-up from Seb the same:
Because … as we’ve already established… Seb is a believer (LINK).
By the way, we know that Seb had seen the pic that would accompany the article, because he mentioned Ben’s baseball cap and sunglasses, as well as the blue shirt. The fact that he also mentioned black jeans tells me the pic might be a full body one.
I’d just like to know why the Fail paid for the rights to a papped pic but chose to forego using it in favour of using one of Ben dressed as Sherlock. Was it because they’re pushing a certain narrative? If so, who dictates what the narrative Seb is pushing will be?
A great big THANK YOU to the wonderful closet Skeptic who had the forethought to screencap from pressreader.com!
First things first:
Oh. My. God! This is hilarious! Hahaaa! They took down that very tightly cropped picture, did they? Hahaaa! Well, it didn’t really match the text anyway. Now we have a pretty picture of Sherlock instead!
P.S.: I kinda know what they meant about ‘scoffing’
P.S.2: What the hell is this mess again, PR???
Look at it this way, if The Sun and The Fail can fuck with Prince Harry by printing outright lies on behalf of MegIT Sparkle? BC doesn’t stand a chance. Why do you think I strongly suspect London PR firm Kruger Cowne of abetting both famehoes? They seem to have a special partnership with those rags…
