    Online comments as front page headlines, what an awesome idea. And I mean awesome in exactly the same sense that the inadvertent headline writer did.

    "People up north just don't get it."

    Case proven.

    • Iccyh

      I just saw that as I was scrolling down to view your comment, that just adds to the awesomeness.

    I don't even WANT context! It would spoil the fun!

    "A fight in an old garage… How could that not be awesome?"

    And I thought the Calgary Sun was bad. Finally there's a tie for worst 'newspaper' ever!

      Ever read The News of the World? [ does it still exist?]
      No issue could be without a parish priest and the choirboys, a Royal family saga, [preferably featuring Charles, the butler or the footman] a story about sleazy corrupt foreigners,[ preferably French or German] and at leat one article on a famous footballer taking bribes but claiming it made no difference to his commitment to the team. But i don'tknow if their front page could quite match this. God, i would have loved to have written for them.

    forgive me, but doesn't that passed out fat guy look like Michael Moore?

    Can't see his face…..but the girth is familar.

      No, I believe it's Bad, Bad Leroy Brown – the baddest man in the whole dam town.

    Actually I really could ask for anything else.

  • D-R

    So, is a preview of the next Macleans cover going to become a regular feature here?

      How could that not be awesome?

    • kcm

      Don't go giving him ideas. I don't want my comments on the front of one of those things.

      • Patchouli

        Yeah cuz even in context, how much sense do any of us make, really? Prolly see a frantically giddy post, fraught with typos and grammatical issues: Freak O' the Week!

    Ya just can't find the good stuff on blogs …… er, …

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/OntarioTown OntarioTown

    Looks like The Sun paper has some competition

  • Chris B

    Obviously what Paul is trying to say here is that the best coment of the week will become the Macleans cover

    Well, we can all stop evolving now. We have finally reached the highest form of life. Truly, a great day for us all.

    My eyeballs are now cowering in a corner.

    The 3D headlines are the most, um, awesome. 2D is so 20th century.
