The premise of the news item itself isn't especially preposterous-- prisoners in Pakistan smuggle/hide cell phones, in some cases by using their body cavities to do so. Prison authorities decided to do a sweep for and found smuggled phones, and in seven cases medical help was required in order to remove the phones.
So far, perfectly fine. It's the sentence where the news item cites their story source that set me off:
"Camp Jail Superintendent Gulzar Ahmad Butt said that the mobile phones had been found during a physical search of the prisoners and when they were screened with metal detectors." (emphasis mine)The main story (i.e. prisoners who hid cell phones up their rectums needed medical attention) of the news item has one source, and his last name just happens to be "Butt?" Is this a news story, or someone's idea of a practical joke?
