Headline of the day

Post categories:

Crippled Monkey | 15:05 UK time, Wednesday, 10 January 2007

Crippled Monkey feels really bad about the entry I'm about to write. Because this is a shocking, tragic and terribly sad story. It's not funny in the slightest. No, definitely not.

It's just ... well, always having an eye for a headline and a subsequent report involving one of them disabled types, I was absolutely powerless to resist when I picked up The Mirror and saw the words screaming out at me from the page.

It was a chocolate doughnut, too. Somehow, this seems important.

I am going to hell. I am definitely going to hell. Sorry.

Crippled Monkey - do you think this is funny? How? I suppose the headline might be mildly amusing, but the story itself is tragic, and all you can think to do is take the mickey out of it and the poor man who died. You're sick. I don't expect this kind of thing from the ´óÏó´«Ã½.

The life support machine was switched off after 4 days. Hmm... Wonder if they'd have given him longer to pull through had he not been disabled? I can't believe choking on a doughnut could cause that much of a deterioration in his condition.
