Yes, that was an actual lead in the Guardian today. Other leads (the headline that draws a reader into the story) that peaked my interest today:

(these are all actual headlines today)

"man shaves eyebrows for charity"

"man poses as female veternarian"

"services remove kids with Nazi-inspired names from home" (yeah, some guy in New Jersey named his kid "Adolf Hitler Campbell" Now there's a name for the Scots to be proud of.

"firefighter charged with theft of severed foot."

"woman arrested after teaching her chlidren shoplifting" Well, it's a trade, I suppose.

"Mexicans hoping voodoo will help them beat US in World Cup"

"Maine woman flunks driving test after running stop sign, crashing into car."

So, the Japense really do go into resturants and order a plate of blowfish testicles--and people here think I'm strange cos' I like to eat liver and onions???
