Mentalfloss.com feed messed up

problem
#1

The story titles and Feed view seem correct, but switching to the Text view is a gamble on whether I see the story I’m supposed to or not. This has been happening for a few weeks now, but I didn’t have time to look at it closely until now. 

I’ve confirmed the problem exists on both the Android and IOS apps, as well as on the web.

Example story:

This is feed view. Looks correct and if I click the title, it takes me to the correct story on their site. However, if I click on the Text view, this is what I see:

Clearly, this is not the correct story. It is a story from the MentalFloss.com feed from a week or two ago. 

When I browse to the feed URL (http://mentalfloss.com/rss.xml), I can find the referenced post and everything about the entry looks good to me.

This is still happening two weeks later. Anyone else seeing this problem? There are 1500 subscribers to this feed on Newsblur.

The Text view does the best job it can. Publisher’s can easily overwhelm it with the content of another story if it is more substantial than the story you’re linked to. It’s not their job to allow the Text view, but this makes it harder to support these changes.

Thanks for taking a look.
