On 22 May 2015, the website 16 Inch City published an article titled Presidential candidate Ted Cruz fails to identify clitoris on female anatomy chart, reporting that the Texas senator Cruz was stumped and became defensive when confronted with a diagram of female genitalia. The article described the exchange as having occurred (somewhat incongruously) at a subcommittee meeting on science and space: If the lack of who, what, where, why elements in the story weren't sufficient to demonstrate its farcical nature, the fact that it was published by 16 Inch City, a junk news outlet, should have been. The site's About page pointed off-site to a Wikipedia page about 16-inch softballs (with no clear disclaimer appended), and its other content was pretty clearly fictional in nature (e.g., Aaron Hernandez confesses to deflating Patriot footballs, Chicago Transit Authority to be re-named 'Ugly Person Express').
