OK, knee-jerk reaction to this headline...

[UCLA02]

"Animal Shelter Supervisor Accused Of Having Sex With Detainee"

Then read the story...and is this NEWS??

1. All headline, no story. Got you to read it, though, right?

2. True, that's why I'm pissed...

So I had to pass it along to all of you to join in my frustration.

3. The headline makes it sound like the guy was humping puppies or something

What he did is a nasty abuse of power (for the same reason supervisors shouldn't sleep with suboordinates or teachers with students) and highly unethical but it must be a really slow news day.

Edited because I spell like a freeper when I type too fast.

5. At least you don't SMELL like a Freeper when you type too fast...

4. 'Detainee' is a poor word choice

Not just because of what it implies, but because it just ain't accurate. The woman wasn't "detained" anywhere.

Space isn't a factor on the internets like it is in print. I don't know why some idiot editor couldn't have written "woman on work release" instead of "detainee."

And it's news because it's about sex. :eyes:
