Caitlin Moran’s commentary made today’s best news story even better
There might be more important news stories happening in the world today but – actually, scrap that, there aren’t any more important news stories happening in the world today.
It’s the tale of a German nudist who was captured on camera giving chase to a wild boar after it snatched his plastic bag (which had his laptop in it).
And it was made even better by this Twitter commentary by author and journalist Caitlin Moran.
Here’s how it began, with this tweet by @LuckyStubbs.

The pig has a box stuck on it's foot – how? What is in the bag? Why is the man nude? Pig is a mum with two kids, just trying to get through the summer holidays? I can't work out who I relate to most. https://t.co/r0DGdMWgcg

Some speculating that it's not a bag in the pig's mouth, but the naked man's shorts. Backstory ripens nicely. https://t.co/r0DGdMWgcg

Of course, with temperatures due to reach 100 degrees in Britain today, there's a chance we could all end up in a scenario like this by sun-down. https://t.co/r0DGdMWgcg
