I know one of the editors here in San Francisco, and they're definitely a witty bunch. You can also tell that it's a UK publication from the brand of humor.Girl with the Interesting Hairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14946746656096278479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122549.post-37740187362800493032008-06-20T08:53:00.000-04:002008-06-20T08:53:00.000-04:00I have a feeling it's actually intentional. The Register is often a little cheeky. Their headline for the suit against the Greek Gay and Lesbian Union was "Lesbians turn on lesbians in battle of Lesbos".Andyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08729397955604855805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122549.post-31469107538475823462008-06-19T11:34:00.000-04:002008-06-19T11:34:00.000-04:00Or the headline writer was trying to be clever. Either way, there's no excuse.
