Thread Name: Song Challenge! Stuck in a Vagina!
Subject: RE: Song Challenge! Stuck in a Vagina!
This was my daughter#s "scoop"!
She's a journalist with RT in Moscow and was sent the photos and story by an acquaintance in Germany.
So she did a light-hearted "filler" story with the headline "It's A Boy" and also wondered whether it might be "statuary rape".
From there the story was picked up by Huffington Post and then went viral in loads of other media, including the UK and Australia. I was speaking to her last night and she's embarrassed about it....she wants her work to become "known" and is normally very pleased if something she's written gets picked up by other organisations, but this one was so daft she's having the piss ripped out of her mercilessly in the office now!
