The boldest name for a newspaper ever
I was looking for online images of front pages from the defunct Local Planet. And I came across this.
For a moment, I thought that main headline was the name of the publication. And I have to tell you, I was impressed.
How would angry readers address their grievances to a paper called The Local Lie?
They really couldn’t, could they? They’d just have to sputter and stew.
Of course, that weekly is not really called The Local Lie.
Too bad. Think of the great slogans it could have.
“All the lies that are fit to print.”
“Tell lies and the people will find their way.”
“The only newspaper produced by people whose pants are on fire.”
