You Goes for a Walk, You Takes your Chances

Dear Vancouver Sun Newspaper,

I keep a short list in my head of images I don’t want to see on the cover of a newspaper. This short list includes:

– a photo of a man pointing a gun at me. I don’t care if he is dead. I don’t care if he’s a devil, a hero, if it’s a toy gun or for a good cause. I don’t want to glance at a newspaper box and be looking down the barrel of a handgun, shotgun or semi-automatic rifle.

See? Told you it’s a short list.

The Province newspaper, usually the more idiot-cousin of you two, has outclassed you today with its cover, featuring a photograph of the family of one of the shooting victims.

You suck, you suck, you suck.
Love,
Cheesefairy

A few blocks further down I was struck by the likeness of a hedge to Barbapapa. I used Trombone as a cover so I wouldn’t get arrested for hedgespionage.
