Could anything stun Metro readers?

The Herald breathlessly reports on an incident at the Forest Hills T stop on Wednesday:

Scores of Metro readers were stunned when they picked up the free newspaper the other morning and discovered a frightening front page splashed with anti-Israel rantings.

Why no pictures of either the frightening front page (come on, we're Herald readers, we can take it!) or of stunned Metro readers lying prostrate at the bottom of the escalators like pigeons just given electric shocks?

Totally un-stunned is

Totally un-stunned is correct. I knew it was sophomoric anti-Israel propaganda and glanced at it briefly before chucking it in the bin.

Whit

Daily Litter

The irony here is that the parody paper probably was better written than The Metro (aka The Daily Litter).

Radiohead

One of the best music videos ever.

Anti-Israel rantings...huh. I really thought the cause was deeper than that.

How do you write an article

How do you write an article like that? Not even a short quote from the cover in question. Heaven forbid the Herald shock its gentle readers with relevant source material. Its like Monty Python and the World's Deadliest Joke.
