I like how they made the article about three times longer than it needed to be by repeating the same facts over and over. I can see the decline in journalistic skill en eloquence continues unabated. In all honesty, I'd be more interested if they actually made at least some effort to seek an expert's opinion on why it got so big rather than just quote a bunch of them saying "yes, it's pretty big alright."

As it stands it reads like a bad wikipedia article...or rather I suppose I should clarify; reads like a bad wikipedia that is bad by wikipedia stands...so pretty bad. [Wink]

I'm allergic to bee stings. I got stung Friday whilst mowing my lawn. Little bugger. Had to shoot myself with an epi-pen and go to the clinic. So that picture is pretty much my worst nightmare.

"...one of our very best pain technicians— (rolls eyes) they used to be called torturers, but ever since they got organized, it's pain technicians..."

Then again, this happened over in the UK, so maybe they got tired of these guys yelling "EXTERMINATE!" whenever they were out on the job?

Besides, the author of the article, a mr. DAILY_MAIL_REPORTER, is just falling back on his training from JOURNALIST_SCHOOL, using all the literary techniques and tricks he can think of to lengthen a report or review with scant source material.

You have to remember, when DAILY_MAIL_REPORTER wakes up in the morning, he puts his PANTS_TROUSERS on one leg at a time, just like you and me.

So, to summarize:

In conclusion, from what has been observed, DAILY_MAIL_REPORTER is

§1: trying to get by in a competitive cutthroat news clippings market

§2: owner of a very small car, perhaps of the SMART_variety

§3: unwilling to commit to his own creation by signing it

§4: afraid of wasps
