Say it ain’t so, Yo! Not the prestigious Daily Star, the most trusted name in tabloid muckraking (now that the News of the World has shuttered its offices), too! Are they all so dumb as to hack into private cell-phones and (more importantly) get caught red-handed? Couldn’t they just throw away the documentation of their wrongdoing? That’s what I do! Um, I mean: That’s what I would do, um, if I was doing anything illegal; uh, which I’m not. (And you better not tell on me, either!)
And couldn’t they just say, when they’re caught red-handed, that the red on their hands is just from printing those red-typed ultra-salacious news headlines? Or perhaps it’s from that red background behind the heading for the name of the paper: “Daily Star”. I might try that too, if they caught me. Which they won’t. Because I throw away all the evidence of my crimes. I mean, I’m not stupid like these guys!
Here’s the sensationally salacious story:
Oh, yes: This reminds me of a new newspaper joke: What is black & white and red all over? A newspaper used to kill someone! Or perhaps a newspaper that’s going broke! (“With “red all over” meaning “drowning in red ink.”) So I guess that’s going to apply to all of them soon.
