The link is to a ‘weird news!’ story in a british tabloid, but what’s cracking me up is how the copy editor captioned the stock photograph illustration.

Well how would you illustrate this story?

Reminds me of the story of the man in a hurry who rushed into a shop and asked if they could repair his watch.
“Sorry, we don’t repair watches here,” is the reply.
“Okay, I’m in a hurry,” he says, I’ll buy a new one."
“I’m sorry, but we don’t sell watches either,” comes the answer.
“But there’s nothing in your window but a great big clock! What is your business, then?”
“I’m a mohel (the man who performs ritual circumcisions). What do you expect me to put in my window?”
Caption is brilliant. The story??? All I can think of is dogs mating and that thing that happens…
The link has been edited, but it still leads to the right page. It’s not actually NSFW; this is a story that ran in a newspaper, after all. About an unusual feat of strength made by a woman in Russia.
i can’t help but wonder what other " hobbies, trainings" she embraces, if any ![]()
A Russian newspaper, not the Washington Post. Apples and oranges. 'Nuff said about that.
BTW, what is it with this ongoing Russian yellow-journalistic fascination for herculean women? And now this variation on the theme.
When did Putin buy The Metro?
It may have come from there initially, but my link is to the UK’s Metro.
Fair enuf, I suppose, but suggesting that something’s not really NSFW just because it’s in a newspaper struck me as an odd conclusion before I even read the link.
The NSFW tag usually implies that the content
could get you fired for sexual harassment. So,
usually full nudity or audio you wouldn’t want
overheard. Don’t get that much in a newspaper.
Or am I reading the wrong newspapers? (Cite
your sources!!!)

It’s a fine point I wasn’t aware of.
The bit that made me laugh was the last sentence.

I’d like to think that the Chiffboard has higher standards than the British tabloids. Really.
I find the implication interesting, that sexually explicit written content might be safe, while the same content expressed in visual or audio form would be unsafe. Says something about our social modalities, or illiteracy, or something.
In this case, NSFW means Nasty Simon’s Female Weightlifter. What did you think it meant? ![]()

Well, explicit photos or audio may be seen or heard quite by accident. A news article would pretty much require a person to stop and read over your shoulder.

Yes, good point. I guess the designation should really be NSFGCAW (Getting Caught At). Which is not quite the same thing.
