This document is a 14 January 2015 BuzzFeed email exchange between Alan White, Tom Phillips and Craig Silverman about a viral story in which a Chinese woman allegedly cut off her husband’s penis twice. It is included in the Source Library as source/evidence material connected to the BuzzFeed/CEN case and the development of BuzzFeed’s pre-publication research into CEN-linked stories. It records Alan White describing the story as “hugely ridiculous mega viral”, Tom Phillips asking whether CEN may have supplied pixelated pictures in a way that could make reverse-image searches harder, and Silverman tracing the story to an earlier HNR source while saying the details appeared to match what CEN had. It is relevant because the exchange shows BuzzFeed treating the story as suspicious while also discovering that the key details appeared to come from an earlier Chinese source rather than being invented by CEN, highlighting the difference between a bizarre viral story, a picture or sourcing issue, and proof of fabrication.
