Guest: (I rise to the bait) Was I 'facile', well, I have that 'facility' however, I just loaded the gun. But I don't think any scatological headline could have been worse than the headline used by the Daily Star.
For those who manage to completely avoid the tabloids, (or are from different shores) The Daily Star (more a porn comic than a newspaper) headlined their story of England's football victory over Argentina with the word "Gotcha" which was a repeat of the Sun's headline on the sinking of the General Belgrano.
This takes British 'jounalism' to a new all-time low!
