This was one of the most popular stories on the BBC News website yesterday and after reading the headline I clicked on the story with a mixture of horror, disgust and morbid fascination.
But then it was a slightly disingenuous headline. The story in fact referred to the fact the director Danny Boyle is considering making a film of the Irvine Welsh novel Porno, which would be the follow-up to his 1996 film Trainspotting. And that's according to Robert Carlyle, rather than Boyle himself.
So not quite as disturbing and therefore interesting as first thought. Still all credit to the headline writer for ensuring that the non-story gets lots of traffic because that's all that counts.
