This archived screenshot preserves the Mirror article “Man with penis stuck in PIPE for TWO DAYS has the world’s weirdest excuse”, a CEN-linked viral story published by a major UK tabloid. The item is significant because it forms part of the evidence chain around BuzzFeed’s own access to, use of and internal discussion about CEN material while it was developing its attack on the agency. In the wider record, the story appears in the context of BuzzFeed staff receiving CEN alerts, asking to be removed from mailing lists, and then discussing CEN material in an increasingly hostile internal culture where “unbelievable” stories were too easily treated as if they were untrue. The screenshot matters because it helps show how bizarre but genuine tabloid stories could be used to create a mood of suspicion around CEN, even when the issue was not that the story was false, but that it sounded ridiculous. Read alongside the BuzzFeed/CEN alerts correspondence and the Slack material about the “fuck CEN consensus”, this item helps document how BuzzFeed’s narrative developed through ridicule, assumption and group hostility rather than clear proof that the underlying story was fabricated.
