  • In October 2016, viral entertainment web sites such as Yikes.com published articles positing that two burglars had been sodomized for five straight days after they broke into the house of a notorious gay sex predator named Harry Harrington: There was no truth to this story. The newspaper clipping shown above originated with the Sunday Sport, a British tabloid that publishes a mixture of softcore pornography, gossip, and outlandish stories such as Donkey Robs Bank, and Aliens Turned Our Son Into a Fish Finger. In addition to the story's dubious source, the photographs included with it were also suspect. The image purportedly showing Harry The Wolfman Harrington had been circulating online since at least 2009, and one of the mugshots purportedly showing either Garfield Morgan or Kim Gorton actually depicted a man named Michael Patrick Kelly who was arrested in 2004 for lewd conduct with a minor. The premise of this rumor was repurposed in September 2017 for a fake CNN news article which claimed that two looters (now named James Tobbes and Michael Smith) were sodomized after breaking into a home during Hurricane Irma.
