Neither of these explanations is quite sufficient to explain what I'm seeing. If the monitor had a faulty green channel then their whites would be off, which they aren't.

Holger Grießhammer is the worst. Pulling the Saturation slider down to -40 makes him look nearly human, but still quite pink. Pulling the green slider up to +40 as well is sufficient to approximately correct the photo.

The saturation I can just about explain as compensating for a very desaturating print process (cheap, nasty newspaper). The colour space distortion is just weird, though. Possibly they have a piece of hardware somewhere with its colour profile set to farcical values by mistake.
