British newspaper 'The Daily Mail' has been publicly mocked for the past week for covering a story about a woman stepping over a puddle.
Lauren Goodger used to appear in the UK reality show 'The Only Way Is Essex' (basically the UK version of 'The Hills'). She was photographed by paparazzi stepping over a puddle. There is literally nothing more to this story, but yet the Daily Mail managed to draw out a full story from it. Then the story was copied by other newspapers and websites owned by the same company.
The story continues to be mocked by multiple media outlets in the UK, ranging from actual celebrities insulting the story on Facebook or Twitter to TV news joking about the pointless article. Several other outlets have tried to sell photographs of various people (not just celebrities) not falling into puddles. The Showbiz Editor told a BBC Radio 1 DJ that they may be interested in photos if the star was reasonably known and had a fashionable outfit on.

There's nothing worse than ruining your shoes in a puddle, but Lauren Goodger was lucky enough to side-step that problem on Friday.
The quick-thinking reality star spotted the pool of water before walking right into it outside a shop in Essex.
A short skip to the left was all Lauren needed to avoid a watery disaster.
The beauty entrepreneur wore an all-black outfit made up of a floaty dress, cropped leather jacket, tights and ankle boots.
Luckily, Lauren wasn't wearing the new Christian Louboutin shoes she bought herself for Valentine's Day, as she might have not been so nift on her feet.
The former TOWIE star tweeted a picture of the sandals, with the caption: 'Happy Red sole day .. Love my new loubs (sic)'
The low-cut nature of the frock allowed Lauren to show off the results of her recent boob job.
The former TOWIE star admitted in January to spending £6,000 on undergoing a cosmetic procedure to boost her bust from a 34D to a 34E cup at the end of December, after the pressures of 'yo-yo dieting' left her breasts lacking 'volume'.
Lauren spoke to New magazine about her latest assets: 'They're very similar to my old boobs but they've got more volume rather than them flopping down a bit.'
Although Lauren admitted her larger bust does make her size 12-14 frame look 'a bit bigger', she insisted she is happy with their overall appearance, as she didn't want her new boobs to look too fake.
She added: 'I'm a curvy girl, I think they're in proportion with my shape, where my shoulders are, where my hips are. I didn't want them to look fake, I'm not a fan of that.
'It was just something for my confidence and to fill out what I had already.'
