This article's an example of why we aren't newspaper reporters. Written in a stultifingly stiff style that even out-generics the Onion's intentional parodies of such things, the piece from Wisconsin's Lake Country Reporter just hints at the fun that could be had with the story if the poor writer was a blogger instead. She could rock Clash references. She could warn Alex Roy's Team Polizei to watch their backs in some creative way while referencing the Clash. Or she could just listen to the Clash really loud while she writes, as we often do. Either way, it's bloggers 1, MSM 0, and Strummer/Jones with the whole enchilada on this one. That said, go read the story and make up your own imaginative metaphors to make it funnier, as the subject matter's somewhat interesting to anyone who've ever wanted to slap on a gumball light and blast through traffic signals.
