- mmariani 13y agoExpect, and get disappointed. Humans simply cannot be perfect at all times. Eventually, we all fuck up. Expect that and you won't be much disappointed.
- adrenalinup 13y agoUgh, I couldn't read past this. Fuck you the Guardian..
- diydsp 13y agoYeah, then you read the article and it says "molested." I went back to verify this and couldn't find it (!). Until I searched for "gang" instead... That's when I found The Guardian had changed the wording in the last few hours! If you scroll down to the bottom you'll find this: "The standfirst to this article was amended on 12 September 2013. It originally referred to a girl who "let herself be gang-raped" to get her BlackBerry back. The misrepresented the text of the piece, which says she allowed herself to be sexually assaulted." So, go ahead and blame technologists for allowing the internet to cater to our more prurient interests, but the newspaperpeople seem to the ones directly responsible.
