Daily Mail headline: Rain in turning grass green shocker!!!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1297328/Just-week-rain-turns-scorched-earth-outside-Exeter-Cathedral-lush-green.html

Okay, it's from just over a month ago, but that must have been an interesting conversation in the sub-editor's office:

"So chaps, what shall we put in today's paper?

The fight against global poverty?
Attempts to get the unemployed back to work?
Perhaps a good news story about a local hero doing great stuff in their community even?

No! Let's have a non-story about rain turning the grass green in summer!"

:facepalm:

And THEY accuse other people of dumbing down this country...

lol i know that song so funny yet so true :rolleyes:

Daily Mail :ahee:

I love that they're already preventing any more comments on that article.
Someone working there clearly knows that people only read the DM for amusement, like The Onion.

It's absolutely true because I read it in the Daily Mail. :thrasher:

Don't complain, this story is more cheerful than 90% of their output.

Lol and in other news, bears occasionally defecate in woodland area's.

I see their news cycle is very busy at the moment:

Can we sticky this thread and then have no more mention of the horrible rag in any other part of the forum? It would save a great deal of 'Daily Fail' posts. We would always have this to recognise how (swear word) the paper is.
