Today's BBC News clicking-chasing headlines include "Cushion covers 'saved my mum's life'"; "Surgery for Indian woman who inhaled nose pin", "Namibia condems tourists posing naked on Big Daddy dune" and, still hanging around, "The fate of Korea's 'first and biggest' sex festival".
This latter story was given full online treatment by a BBC correspondent two days ago, and was carried in the local South Korean press on the 19th April, a full week ago. The festival was cancelled. It didn't happen. Yet you have to click the headline to find that out.
The BBC wants more of this tosh. They're recruiting a "Senior Journalist, BBC News Social - Weekend Lead"
