How many journalists does it take to tell the truth?
Dr Mumbo congratulates the work of the two new staff at Take 5 magazine who have clearly been beavering away to ensure no more foreign “errors” mar the “editorial excellence” of the Bauer Media Group publication.
Clearly their dedication to ensuring people’s home towns don’t accidentally change from somewhere in Europe/America to somewhere in country Victoria has paid great dividends.
The lead story in the December 19 issue “I’ve been stuffing another bird” is attributed to Andrea Lewis, 34, of Florida – the place she moved to with her new boyfriend after her husband told her on Christmas day he had chlamydia as he had been cheating on her while she was pregnant.
The other real problem they have in transplanting copy from overseas to Australia is that there could actually be someone of that name living in that town – and there’s a whole world of legal hell right there. Love rat Brian Smith from the US could easily be the local vicar here in Australia!!!!
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story…
A car was involved in an accident in a street. As expected a large crowd gathered. A reporter, anxious to get his story could not get near the car.Being a clever sort, he started shouting loudly, “Let me through! Let me through! I am the son of the victim.”The crowd made way for him.Lying in front of the car was a donkey.
That festive feng shui story looks like dynamite though
Bonus points for using the most over used stock photography model on the planet as their cover image!
