Someone Should Lose Their Job Over This

I’ve tried to maintain radio silence during the Olympics. Let the games go on, and all that.

I am forced to break that rule because of this headline: King Kobe Rules "Bling Dynasty" in China from our good friends at the Guardian. This is unspeakable editorial misconduct that deserves a very loud groan at the very least.

My goodness. They actually pay people salaries for that kind of cheap-ass pun? The world is truly going to end soon. If these editors keep up that kind of stuff, China will summarily announce that the great experiment that was the ????, having wrought very silly puns, has been suspended effective immediately.

What a shame.

  1. I’ve been noticing some really bad articles in some of those British “newspapers” lately. Wish I could get paid to write crap like that.

  2. I love it. Then again, my father (who was truly studying Italian), used to joke that he never let a day go by without studying Italian.
