favourite headline ever

[IdleRich]

Looks like Private Eye to me - if you google it and see a picture that hasn't been quite so cropped you can see that it says "exclusive to all newspapers" above the picture which is what Private Eye put when they do a piss-take generic article.

 

[IdleRich]

Sorry.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Doesn't matter, it's still funny.

I remember someone on HIGNFY talking about the way the tabloids just exploded with Di-related news in the days and weeks after she died - "Day 5: Diana still dead..."

Here is a particularly good primatial tarzan-studies-journalism headline:

Schoolgirl sex video man guilty

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/6430839/Schoolgirl-sex-video-man-guilty

Some bizarre excerpts:

The guilty verdicts were delivered after a three-day jury trial for making an objectionable video involving the girl, aged 16, and a road cone, and possessing that video.

Broekman was found not guilty of making an objectionable video with her, using a hammer, and possession of that video.

He said the acts were not illegal because her consent was given, and afterwards in the early morning hours, there was film of her dancing to the music.

Define "missed opportunity":
