  4. Please follow the post naming convention: Wikipedia Article Title - Short Synopsis

  6. Please refrain from any offensive language/profanities in the posts titles, unless necessary (e.g. it's in the original article's title).

Mandatory:

If you didn't find an article "creepy," you must announce it in the thread so everyone will know that you didn't find it creepy

I know I'm late to this but I'm guessing the downvote was for a low effort contribution - this story is still all over the front pages in the UK papers at the moment, whereas I guess the implied thing on this community is finding more obscure weird stuff. Rather than news headlines.

Not that it actually matters!
