Had a giggle when I saw this site. [https://bbcmews.co.uk](https://bbcmews.co.uk)  
It takes the website [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news) and replaces any image with a randomised image of a cat.  
Then replaces words like coronavirus, covid, pandemic and quarantine with things like Dr Fluffingtons, kitten, cat party and kitten club.  
Headlines become things like:

**Dr Fluffingtons:  
‘We’re packing frantically’ after France kitten club rule change**

I don’t know how they did it, but it certainly made me giggle on a Friday afternoon procrastinating.

It’s very clever. It’s a bit worrying, though. It could have been a bank website, or someone could use the technique to spread disinformation.

Unlike the BBC itself.

Not good. It looks like a hack
