Who'll Die First!
Edited on Fri Jul-23-10 08:20 AM by Ian David
The Media Blog has picked up on the latest example of gross bad taste by the US checkout magazine, the National Enquirer.



It "can always be relied upon to ask the important questions in a tasteful and respectful manner," says says the blog poster, illustrating the point with the latest front page.

Featuring pictures of a bloated Lisa-Marie Presley, who (allegedly) might eat herself to death, and Lindsay Lohan, who (allegedly) might commit suicide in jail, the Enquirer asks: "Who'll die first!"

Yes, it poses the question by using an exclaimer rather than a query. But you can't expect its subs to know much about grammar.
