In a stunning blow to the world of online journalism, The Wibble's much-anticipated article entitled "This article does not exist" has failed to capture the nation's attention. Despite its intriguing title, readers were left disappointed upon discovering that the article was, in fact, non-existent.
The shockwave from the article's flop has reverberated throughout the internet, with many taking to social media to voice their disappointment. "I was really looking forward to reading this, but now I feel like I've been let down," said Twitter user @DisgruntledReader.
Experts are baffled by the failure of the non-existent article, with some suggesting that its lack of content may have been a contributing factor. "It's hard to attract readers when there's nothing there to read," said journalist and media expert, Bob McWriter.
The elusive author responsible for the literary mishap has remained tight-lipped about the incident, leading many to speculate about their motives. Some have suggested that the article was part of a larger scheme to trick readers into clicking on a blank page, while others have posited that the article was simply a mistake.
The fallout from the non-existent article has been swift and severe, with many calling for action to be taken against the author responsible. "This is unacceptable," said prominent blogger and internet celebrity, Samantha Bloggs. "We demand accountability and transparency in online journalism!"
As of press time, it is unclear whether any action will be taken against the elusive author, or whether The Wibble will attempt to salvage its reputation by publishing additional content. One thing is clear, however: the failure of the non-existent article will go down in history as one of the biggest snafus in the world of online journalism.
