Daily Mail retracts Russell Brand prostate cancer story

Buff the Banana with Paul Dacre already has a loyal following at Associated NewspapersLaunched just a couple of weeks ago, Buff the Banana with Paul Dacre is already drawing a crowd of people looking for Daily Mail style titillation without the other stuff and is already a firm favourite with Associated Newspapers who visit daily.

I developed Buff the Banana with Paul Dacre over the Christmas break and the site went live on 9 January. At time of writing it’s served 5,133 unique visitors with 8,432 pages of whom 342 have returned for seconds. Pre-buff those searching Google for a biography of the Daily Mail editor would be left quite disappointed. Not any more.

Anyway. Yesterday’s banana buffers were excited by Russell Brand’s exploits: ‘Greedy’ Russell Brand picks up TWO blondes… he’s not worried about lots of sex increasing his chances of prostate cancer then

This was the Daily Mail at its very best. Russell Brand appeared to be ignoring the news that men who have a lot of sex in their twenties are more likely to develop prostate cancer, by picking up two blondes at a party. Russell Brand is 33.

Today the web address:

www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1128743/Greedy-Russell-Brand-picks-TWO-blondes–hes-worried-lots-sex-increasing-chances-prostate-cancer-then.html

redirects to the far safer Russell Brand danced around in tiny, white pants to try to woo us, claim the two nightclub blondes who said ‘no thanks’… and they discovered that by reading The Sun.
