I'm posting this because with all the news over-load sometimes you need a break; this is a REAL Newspaper headline from a rural weekly paper in County Mayo. Our friend that took the photo is wondering if he and all his red blooded male friends should now relocate there...the headline sort of speaks for itself lol

It would be interesting if the Editor was just naïve or super savy!
Given this is the West of Ireland, very rural and highly conservative I am thinking it was a printer error or copy editor in a hurry to get the headline of "Blow to Jobs" (a common statement here meaning a blow to job creation) to fit on the page. Probably either at 4am after a long evening at the pub...

Reminds me of a newsline I saw celebrating the opening of the new pubic library!

Thanks for the laugh this morning, Melodi!

You'll have to keep us informed us the results of this 'event'. I bet the letters to the editor will be hilarious.
