Headline Thoughts

Posted by sean on September 30, 2003

“Shock for SA Gun Owners” (Cape Argus) – and that’s the least they deserve <rimshot>

“Father dies at son’s death spot – A man whose son was killed on a railway line nine days ago dies at the same spot hours after his wife is attacked.” (BBC News Online). – the real story is pretty dark, but not quite as outright weird as the BBC makes it sound.

“UN Leaves Skeletal Staff in Iraq” (BBC News Online) – Okay, there’s *definitely* a warped sense of humour floating around the beeb these days.

I wanted to add something about use of the word ‘fuck’ in recent headlines concerning Alistair Campbell but I thought (a) it would be gratuitous and (b) it’s not actually that funny and (c) I don’t think anyone actually used it in a headline.
