Humans mating in thelondonpaper

Curious edit in CiF today, where I had a piece attacking Andy Coulson and tabloid journalism generally. I had written that Murdoch’s London freesheet thelondonpaper had urged viewers to go to its website and watch a video of two people fucking1 on a roof. I know they did: it was Tuesday’s paper, and I picked it up walking through Liverpool Street station. There was a still in the paper of the couple at it doggy style, on the flat roof of a modern block of flats.

But when I went to check the link on the web, it had gone; at least there was no reference to it. The paper copy I had thrown away as soon as the sudoku was finished. The Guardian changed the reference to a video of a poodle trying to hump a duck, which is certainly up there, but not really, or nearly, as unpleasant as voyeurism on humans.

1 not the term I used

    Forget the article. That has to be one of the best pitures of you I’ve ever seen. It’s even better than some of mine 🙂
    I mean, you look plausible!

    Who took the picture?
