A writer for 'The Spoof' has been detained by police over allegations that the word 'vagina' has been deliberately overused in order to increase circulation of the paper.
One-eyed vagrant and sometimes writer, Duff, was arrested at his London skip yesterday and taken to Betnel Green police station for questioning.
Police are believed to have quizzed the former jailbird for several hours and were particularly keen to know if there was any involvement by owners and editors of 'The Spoof', Mark and Paul Lowton.
The reclusive Lowton brothers came from humble beginnings in the East end of London and became media tycoons after wresting control from an ailing Mr Helium, in 2006.
Accusations of gangsterism and thuggery have dogged the brothers throughout their meteoric rise to fame and indeed, since handing over control of his magazine, Mr Helium has not been seen and many believe he has been the victim of a gangland hit.
'Fanny-peppering' is not new in journalistic circles but it has been banned since the Sunday Times used the word 437 times in 1965.
If convicted of 'fanny-peppering' Duff and his nefarious chums can expect a long spell at Her Majesty's Pleasure.
