A few days ago it was being widely reported that the mayor of Bugliano, Italy had prohibited orgies in an effort to stave off the spread of coronavirus:

The mayor of Bugliano, Italy has issued a statement prohibiting orgies and gang bangs anywhere inside the city limits. Additionally, threesomes and sex involving more than two people is also banned for the foreseeable future.

This instantly struck me as a traveller’s tale for the digital age — strange doings far away, impossible to verify, remixing literal falsehood into mythical truth. I told myself it was just too good to be real.

And I was not wrong: here’s the correction.

Turns out, it was a hoax!

The announcement was made through the prank Twitter account @CBugliano and was cleverly designed to look an official proclamation from Mayor Fabio Buggiani’s office.

Prohibited or not, I’m thinking it’s a good time to postpone your orgies and gangbangs.
