Gripped by rape fear yet?

Both Carpundit and John wonder which city, exactly RAPE FEAR GRIPS as portrayed on the front page of the Herald. Carpundit:
... Sometimes the Boston Herald headlines contain exaggerations for dramatic effect. But seldom do we see a large, bold, blatant, inflammatory lie with no basis in fact whatsoever. ...
Jay of the Herald responds by, um, complaining that the New York Times reported on product placement in theatrical productions an entire month after the Herald.
Me? I prefer getting my news from bostonherald.com rather than the paper edition. I think it does a much better job of highlighting news that I can use. Look at today's home page. I just had no idea a Hooters was opening up in Saugus! And those tight t-shirts the waitresses wear? I'm glad bostonherald.com provided a photo, because that's just not something I could have imagined:

Grr.
Particularly annoying that the Herald mentions that the BARCC lost funding last year, but doesn't mention that it was Tom Finneran's 2004 bill that cut funding, nor mention who the supporters of the bill and other similar ones currently being drafted are and where you can write to them, nor mention that the BARCC needs volunteers.
Leave it to the Herald to bitch about a problem but not hold anyone accountable or tell people how they can help resolve it.
I'm not "gripped by rape fear" . . .
but I do think about the several incidents in Mission Hill since I work there and often walk home late at night. Hopefully the rapists don't like fat chicks.
