While the Eastern Daily Press couldn’t be accused of telling porkies in this headline on its website, the accompanying stock photograph may well have raised a few chuckles from Norfolk’s criminal fraternity.
The offending picture was replaced once the error was realised, and the driver of the actual vehicle quite literally managed to save his cargo’s bacon – with no people or animals left hurt in Wednesday’s crash.

But what about that awful headline? Typical of publishers who think subs are dispensable. Without the picture it would have been another dull-as-ditchwater bloated nib.

I like this drive to reinvent Archant as a comedy news website.

Archant,always good for a self inflicted laugh, if it’s not seeking stories for cinema tickets for the evening news or the C word being broadcast on the dreadful mustard TV it’s the missed irony in a dull as headline.
Comedy gold,Keep em coming you tub thumping word furnaceers.

They really can’t help themselves can they, another week another embarassing own goal.
So much for Jeff Henrys boast of being the best in the business, the best at what one asks?
Self inflicted injuries may hap?

we can’t believe it ourselves! you ask a junior to watch over your web pages while you go and update your cv and have a fag on the roof with an ad manager and listen to him moan about how fed up he is and how no ones getting response to their ads in our ‘cracking ‘ papers anymore and this happens. Oh well, it could be worse we could have run a feature piece on Mustard TV about it complete with a sweary pants fairy and an ex footyman
Happy days!
