    I used to get spam like that. Something like:

    fake quote> You are selected for the "Universal Website Conference" that has a cost of $100. Everyone attending will get an award of "Best Ever Universal Website Designer".

    This looks slightly more elaborated.

    From the articel:

    > The award – likened to a Nobel prize – was invented by Montaclair

    Is would be nice to find that quotes in the press to get a good laugh. Now a lot of "journalist" just copy&paste whatever the PR says.

    "Florent Montaclair, then 46, a balding, bespectacled figure in an ill-fitting suit and rosé-coloured shirt, ..."

    What a disgusting style: Not by Montaclair, by the author. Why would anyone put emphasis on such irrelevant, superfluous details? (Never really) Grown up on Instagram?

      It's pretty much standard journalistic practice to describe women. Men only get their outfit described if it really stands out. Which seems to be the case here.

      Though I'm not sure what the difference is between a rosé and a rose colored shirt. Different shades of pink, I guess.
