‘ What’s holding this slime bucket is IRAS 18293−0941, a stellar black hole, or a cosmic hungry-hungry hippo formed out of a collapsed star.’

I just asked my 14-years-old son what a black hole was. He did not describe it in terms of hippos, hungry or otherwise. Gravity was mentioned, and light not being able to escape past the event horizon. Just how fucking stupid do newspapers think their readership is ?
