If I try some time-math: The article posted to a UK site with a byline that says "Posted 43 minutes ago". At the time of writing this comment; 43 minutes was ~2pm in the UK, give or take a few minutes. The article also has an update on 11:50. That update either came ~2 hours before the article was posted, or 8-9 hours in the future. So, I'm going to guess the whole article is fake.

It was launched in Australia, presumably that time is ACT which sort of makes sense as an update while they were writing the article.

No, it's true. I noticed the Drop the Mic thing last night, and ignored because it was late and I was tired, and I didn't understand what the hell it was. I actually thought it was some kind of Whatsapp-like "send voice message", done with an extremely ugly Minion emoticon.
