/// Either the DM moderators are off work, or the readers of the Mail have realised that this is a non-story, because after five hours...no-one has bothered commenting on this fake outrage. ///

Don't know where you have been looking sp but there are over a thousand comments, here is one of them:

*** Excellent , very funny , I believe they are also about the same age mentally and they look like twins , just because he's black doesnt mean people cant have a joke about him , come on lighten up , it's funny , People need to stop being so paranoid about being black . ?? ***

So,aog,if that quote is representative, the use of the word 'outrage' is still unjustified, as it was when the story was published, and is just the Daily Mail doing what it so often does with stories.Does the word 'hyperbole' not apply?
