This has to be the wildest (and most intriguing) news headline I have ever seen. It is the little details that turn the experience of reading it into a true knock-out combo:
- “Gordon Ramsay’ Dwarf Porn Double” = a hard cross to the temple
- “Found Dead” = a quick jab to the forehead
- “in a Badger Den” = a massive uppercut that sends you to the ground on the brink of unconsciousness
- “in Wales” = and then they kick you when you’re down, asking “have you had enough?”
You’d have thought that “Gordon Ramsay’s Porn Double Found Dead” would have been all the headline needed to say, and then it would be up to the curious reader to find out about the height of the porn double, the badgers and the country where it happened (plus, the curious reader also gets treated with the knowledge of what surely must have been a brilliant porn feature, the aptly titled “Hi ho, Hi ho, It’s Up Your Arse We Go”). But I guess that is why I don’t have a job writing news headlines for that weird hybrid of newspaper + tabloid that is so common in the UK (although I discovered this article through someone posting a link to the Australian Telegraph).
Also, this happened back in September. How am I just finding out about this now?
