The world’s best worm is being swarmed with
emails and social networking posts as auto-correct claims another victim.
‘Soily John’, 2 months old, from the Lake
District, Cumbria, has contacted Apple regarding a possible update to their
‘auto-correct’ system. It seems that every time someone uses their iPhone to
search for ‘West Brom’, the Midlands based football team; the phrase is automatically
changed to ‘Best Worm’.
Whilst this would seem like pointless news
to most, it’s the opposite for Soily John. At the recent ‘Bug Baftas’, John
was awarded the ‘Best Worm in the World’ award, due to his distinct ‘shimmering
skin’ and patented ‘figure of 8’ soil digging technique.
‘At first it didn’t bother me, sobbed John,
‘it was actually really good exposure, but now it’s just becoming a burden’
John has received over 8,000 emails from
West Brom fans trying to renew their season tickets, and has been tagged on
Instagram, Facebook and Twitter over 2,000 times a day for the last month with
the hashtag #BestWorm. Some examples
have been listed below
Great ball in from Brunt there #BestWorm
Tony Pulis looks like an owl that’s flown
through sports direct #BestWorm
Where has Saido Berahino actually gone? #BestWorm
Naturally, the tweet involving the owl, an
earthworm’s greatest threat, is being treated as a hate crime.
West Bromwich Albion recently reached out
to John and offered him a patch of soil at the Hawthorns, along with a signed Rondon shirt. Apple refused to comment on the story but are reportedly
‘looking into it’. Soily John is said to be pursuing compensation, if he
survives the winter without being cut in half by a child with a shovel.
