News Worthy! Ish.

Another editorial gem from the Daily Express -

THE WOMAN WHO COLLAPSES WHENEVER SHE SEES A FRIED EGG

She's, uh, afraid of fried eggs. Which you should know about.

Check out these writing chops:
Susan, 39, says she is afraid of going into restaurants and cafe's in case she spots her greasy nemesis lurking on a plate.
"I can't go to restaurants because I am afraid of seeing a fried egg," she said.

Yeah, I got that.

This was not the case when I wrote the article. The Daily Express has edited the article and changed bits. I am a Journalism student, and obviously this article is more than news worthy ish- the woman who Is scared of fried eggs has had 20 different publications call her since its first publication in the Express, and she will also be appearing on a number of tv shows- this goes to show how little you actually know. ENDS.

Oh DAMN, that journalism student really read you good! Obviously, being a blog, your fact checking team is probably understaffed/overworked. And I've known you long enough to know that you basically wouldn't know a great egg story if it was all over your face (metaphorically speaking).

Seriously, lady saw a really greasy looking egg one time. IT WAS VERY TRAUMATIC, OK!? 20 (different!!) publications would know if that was newsworthy I think. ENDS.
