Yes, it's in the science section

This is 'science news' in the 'science' section of the Daily Telegraph - you know, that thing which pretends to be something more than a Conservative Party pamphlet dressed up as a newspaper.

Remember, science news. News about science. In the science section. Got that? Good.

Go!

What the fuck? It doesn't even look like an alien. It looks like Jason out of Friday 13th if it looks like anything scary. But it doesn't really look like anything. It's a fucking rock, for fuck's sake.

Not that the Telegraph reporters give a shit. It's not about news. It's not about whether things are vaguely right or wrong. It's about getting some shit on the web that helps your search engine optimisation, regardless of what it's actually about. It's not about the content, stupid. And look, mission accomplished. They've done really well!

Sure, they've put complete bollocks in the 'science' section - but think of the SEO!

I wonder how long it'll take for Richard Hoagland to try and make money from this.

20 years ago the Sunday Sport found a WW2 bomber on the moon. It's taken the Torygraph that long to catch up.
