pluseyes: P.S. Just to illustrate how surprised I was to see the previous story in the Metro… this is a screencap from their website when I searched for the article with the term “obese”. Not only do they use the headless-fatty technique of journalism, they used the same poor stranger four times for four different articles this year, ominously increasing in size down the page! He/she is apparently the single most representative fatty in the United Kingdom. People often take pictures as more honest than the articles in papers… It’s not often you can get such concrete evidence of fiddling like this. Good work!
