Window Cleaner Killed By Giant PENCIL

[Mendoza]

Shouldn't laugh but that is a TEXTBOOK front cover and associated A-Board from todays Argus


oh and I suppose there is a pretty young lady that most of NSC will call ugly

 

[The Wizard]

Classic Argus.

(She is fit btw)

 

[bhafc99]

That is magnificent. Headline of the year.

 

[house your seagull]

there's a certain irony in the blue banner too ...

Awful circumstances, he had a psychotic illness in 2006 with hearing voices in his head. Just smoking one joint of strong skunk can trigger schizophrenia.

Quite shocking. What a crap headline trying to get cheap laughs. The Argus is a f***ing disgrace.

Classic Argus in that it was copied from my newspaper (The Hastings Observer) and is an account of an inquest which they did not attend.

"A baffled coroner recorded an open verdict over the death of a window cleaner who bled to death after apparently stabbing himself repeatedly in the groin with a souvenir pencil."

Oh, and the inquest was LAST Wednesday.

Isn't the Argus owned by ultimately the same lot as your paper though?

The headline "Open verdict on window cleaner's mysterious death" isn't quite as good though. I guess you lot are like like the hamburger. Beef does all the hard work, Ham gets all the credit

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Free comedy AND wine for my Mum. She'll be delighted

Agree with that. Sort of headline you'd expect from the Sport

 

[Fef]

The Argus's 'poor taste factor' seems to fluctuate from average to extremely poor, no doubt in direct proportion to its sales failing to hit targets.

No, but perhaps less flippant about someone's death...

Nope. They are Newsquest I believe. We are Johnston Press.

I stand corrected. Clearly all is not well when they're publishing a nearly week-old story from the fringes of the patch (if it's in it at all) as front-page news.

 

[Man of Harveys]

The Argus seems to have been playing it very fast and loose with matters of discretion recently; I can't believe how many tact-free comments about people who have just died in car crashes "deserved it" for being such bad drivers etc get left unmoderated on its website, for example.

 

[pishhead]

This takes some beating for a headline.

Was it lead poisoning?
