It was not my intention to fool anyone, I shall be having stern words with my source for this link...

Well nerdspotted.

I work for The Independent - it's a fake. You can type anything into the URL - it's the number at the end that's important.

But when I went to the website and searched for the link, I found this, as well as one that says "Sorry it took me so long to figure this out". So who changes it? I would understand if it was changed on a link that someone sent me, but an average user browsing The Independent's site will still see the fake link. How does that work?

Wow, that's awesome. Good screen cap, I can't imagine this will stay up very long.
EDIT: Fuck you OP >:(
