I could NOT believe it when I was in the supermarket this morning buying breakfast and saw that this morning! And the pun/headline? I’m sorry, you have to admire that. Imagine the brainstorming session for the headline, and the pride of the guy who came up with it!
someone on that press floor got his/her pints bought for them night-of. fo sho.
i am somehow delightfully reminded of a pitch my friends and i were going to make to General Motors for a new car to compete with the Ford Probe. The Chevy Catheter we were going to call it. Until we heard a stand-up comic use the SAME JOKE on the stage at the Comedy Store in Hollywood. SNAP!
An old uni mate of mine used to work for another tabloid and they used to have people who’s only responsibility was to come up with the cheesy front page headlines - pure class!
I dunno what the fuss is about - ‘contravening his rights under the Geneva Convention’. The Sun newspaper shows EVERYONE in their pants in this country.
Keep yer pants on, people. You’ll end up in the British papers
Unfortunately the tabloid press here in the UK now prefer to make the news, rather than wait for actual things to actually happen. We’re now living in this manufactured reality - and big brother starts again soon. Urgh.
I tell you it was not a sight I wanted to see first thing in the morning, when squashed in the tube on my way to work. Urgh who wants to see any old man in his underpants, let alone Saddam!
