Best URL evah

[rhythmaning]

The Independent had an article with the headline "Kate Middleton jelly bean expected to fetch £500" - I'm sure you know the story.

Here's the URL: http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/utter-PR-fiction-but-people-love-this-shit-so-fuck-it-lets-just-print-it-2269573.html

The key bit is "utter-PR-fiction-but-people-love-this-shit-so-fuck-it-lets-just-print-it"...

Ten out of ten for honesty!

Sorry to disappoint you, but you can type anything between the final / and 2269573 and the url works :(

If I got spoofed, it was a good spoof!

There is an apology on the Independent's website, pointing out that it wasn't the real url. I'm not sure that the apology is really necessary since the spoof is much more fun than the real thing.

Gah, that's an inelegent way of telling him. I prefer doing this:
