At the bottom of a Wired post entitled:
“Never Mind Trump. The Internet Wants to Watch What’s Behind Him”
This:
‘Correction at 9:58 a.m. on 3/09/2016: Due to an oversight involving a haphazardly-installed Chrome extension during the editing process, the name Donald Trump was erroneously replaced with the phrase “Someone With Tiny Hands” when this story originally published.’
