Murder, blood, and girl-on-girl action.  Looks like it has all the components necessary to improve ratings.

You don't see how the title of the story alone is just a WEEEE bit sensationalistic?

Oh, yeah.  Of course, Fox is the only news media that does such a thing.  Ever.

I'm usually the biggest fox news defender you'll see.  But in this case, I honestly can't see CNN, for example, going with that exact headline.

Heh.  Actually, reading the article (and local ones, to double check), I'd say the title exactly sums up what happened.  Title seems fine.

Sensationalism is that Fox ran the story at all - far as I can tell, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, and MSN haven't.

If they could have worked dildos and gay marriage into to story, it'd have been better.

"Dwarf Rapes Nun, Flees in UFO" is better. The FOX News article has that sleazy Grind House vibe though, so I give them good marks.

"Dwarf Rapes Nun, Flees in UFO"

You're half-way there, but you need to be more colorful.  Is the dwarf an alcoholic?  Is the nun in charge of every homeless shelter in Australia?  Is the UFO a saucer or is it one of those tripod things that are more in vogue these days?

So it reads more like this: "Alcoholic Dwarf Rapes Defenseless Puppy-loving Nun, Flees in US Air Force Jet."

See, now we're hooking people that hate dwarves AND alcoholics, people that love puppies and people that think the US government/military is behind everything.

Didn't we already have a thread about this? Here I was thinking there was a global trend of lesbian killers, but it's just the same incident that gets play every month or so. I blame the patriarchy.

It was a thread about Australia. I find this news story very upsetting honestly. Mostly because of the attitude these women have towards their crime. It makes me want to choke them with their lover's entrails.

The problem with that plan is you can only kill one of them that way. You'll need a different method to kill the first one.

You did have to remind me of that, didn't you ?

I still feel a bit squeamish when I think of that scene in Braveheart. (Or reading the Wikipedia article on capital punishment in the medieval ages)
