    I know right. Wtf is that article. I thought the headline was satire, or poking fun, but no. 'includes sponsored links' no shit.

    I have a feeling they didn't even intend that comic effect -- in BBC-style reporting quotes are used to distance the news outlet from an opinion or to stress that something is reported, a pathetic safety net like the American 'alleged' etc.
