Did the iol news website make a subtle reference to Zuma’s head then remove the headline? [pic]

So this past weekend Julius Malema took some cheap shots at President Jacob Zuma by mocking him with a shower head gesture HERE at the ANCYL conference in Limpopo. The shower head reference relates to Zuma’s rape trial back in 2006 when he said he took a shower to reduce risk of infection after having unprotected sex with a woman known to be HIV positive. Comedians and political cartoonists have gotten plenty of mileage from the shower ‘joke’, but it’s rare to see a news website use it in a headline.

This morning i was checking iol.co.za for the todays news and saw a rather cheeky headline so i took a screen shot. Didn’t think much of it, but i just double checked now and they have since changed it.

Is it just me or do you also see what they did there?

If you Google ‘More work lies ahead for all-Zuma’ it takes you to the iol story, but the headline has been changed to ‘Violent crime down nearly 6%- Zuma’.

Wonder why?
