    Loosen the language too while we're at it. What's with all this uptight AP style bullshit. Who talks like this anymore? I'm telling you, one day a newspaper publisher is gonna allo its staff writers to curse in prose, and when they see an upswing in sales,everyone will copycat.

    "Two assholes were killed today in northwest Philadelphia after the one of the shitheads attempted to rob a bank and then got into gunfight with police..."

    Every time my old boss came up with a bullshit idea with the defense that "people like it," I always brought up the Page 3 girls for the same reason. "What about Page 3 Boys?" she asked once. Fine, I said, and it looks like you're considering the option.

    She was not amused.
