From the article:
There's something uniquely demented about slotting specific words and phrases into a piece simply to con people into reading it. Why bother writing a news article at all? Why not just scan in a few naked photos and have done with it?Makes you long for the days when you could afford to get annoyed with the tabloids bombarding us with pictures of Princess Diana looking oh-so-brave-yet-styly in her body armour, while neglecting to actually say much about the landmines she was supposed to be publicised. Nowadays, that sort of 90s Sun or Express style of coverage might be worthy of a Pulizer. Make that a NAKED HOT Pulizer.
And if you do persevere with search-engine-optimised news reports, where do you draw the line? Next time a bomb goes off, are we going to read "Terror outrage: BRITNEY, ANGELINA and OBAMA all unaffected as hundreds die in SEXY agony"? (1)
