I followed a link on Dean's World to this story about some gal recanting her story about being raped the day before the supposed rapist's trial was to begin, and yet the weirdest thing was that at the top of such story from www.nbc10.com was this line:
Attention Fark.com Readers: Other Top Stories On NBC10.comafter which they provide links to six other stories. Is this a sign of blatant catering to a certain audience, or what? Posted by notGeorge at October 29, 2003 08:19 PM | TrackBack
I noticed that too. I kept wondering if maybe Fark bought advertising space... surely they can't be that big a demographic that news sites pander to them?
Personal note: while sometimes Fark does find some nifty oddities, most of the time they just aggravate me. Just one of those things.
The story gets weirder. Apparently there's video tape showing the girl seemingly unconscious while the guy's doing stuff to her.
So is her recantation false? Apparently--he was convicted despite it.
Now I have no idea what to think.
