The same template can be used when a TV advert causes outrage.
Wow! This would look good on my [generic London events blog]. Copy and paste, change some of the words, add one of my own tweets and voila! Thanks [London news website] for the content!

Remember these nine amazing events from the past week in London? They will amaze you!
(NB disappointing absence of the words "iconic" and "disruptive" in this post, your copy needs a better curator).
We get these outside London as well. There are loads of them in the Manchester Evening News.

But here's the thing. Such is the state of our local newspapers that quite often it's "Something happened in Wales. Here's what [insert locale for the newspaper] residents thought about it."

My favourites are when they don't even bother trying to localise it, and the whole things littered with references to Liverpool or Cardiff.
I'm glad I'm reading you, [sitename]. I really like it when I am the one to share anything this good in [category] with my friends. I'll be going to this at the weekend once I've slaved enough to pay my mortgage HAHAHA. I know I'll enjoy this.
I suspect that this amazingly-clad emperor is naked.
This is one of the downsides of the internet. We expect everything to be free, so journalists have been replaced by twitterists and Getty images.

Similarly, clickbait rules require that any non-stock photo must be 'Adorable', 'Shocking' or 'Stunning'...
NewsQuest. The Game.
With a bit of deft scripting it should be possible to automate most of that template.

A donut for the first person to find an example of where this has actually been done.

The ones that grab your locality via IP are fun. Eg. "Grandma in [ town name ] causes outrage with 1p alternative to botox." [ Insert pic of Simon Cowell lookalike ].
Hahaha! Shows just how vacuous the industry has become!

If someone has already automated DG's template then donutspeed to them!
