    I think the phone numbers might be a bit bad too.

    Er, a funny fail but it was meant to be as this appeared in Private Eye, a satirical and current affairs magazine.

    As Wikipaedia puts it, “Obvious headline – the trite and banal stories about celebrities’ antics that receive extensive reporting in the national press are often rewritten … as ‘SHOCK NEWS: MAN HAS SEX WITH SECRETARY’. This is usually ‘EXCLUSIVE TO ALL NEWSPAPERS’.”

    Yeah, sorry but this is an english fail blog fail and likely a Kaylee fail too. Unless Kaylee is trying to make a point about the submission review and selection process here.

    She was alive BEFORE she was killed ten years ago?
    I should hope so.

    How can nobody see this is clearly a photoshop… fail in all levels.

    People are alive before they are dead? It all makes sense now!

    Jay Leno would be proud.

    There’s nothing linguistically wrong with this image and it doesn’t warrant submission to a Language Fail blog.

    If it was in Private Eye then clearly it’s satire and so doesn’t even warrant the Logic Fail.

    well no dip. i will be alive hours before i die. and everyone else will be too!

  11. dep on September 10th, 2008 at 7:41 pm

    Actually, there is a linguistic error in the article–look at the comma (mis)placement.

    This was in Private Eye. A satirical piece and therefore not eligible for this otherwise excellent blog!

  13. Anonymous on September 13th, 2008 at 5:52 am

    Definitely a Private Eye piece – the cont p.94 is one of their hallmarks. This was printed as a joke, and succeeds as such.

    Submission fail. As has been said already this is a Private Eye joke.

  15. ade t on September 15th, 2008 at 5:33 am

    Yeah,that is Private eye for sure,taking the piss out of the EXTENSIVE coverage the Daily Express has given the conspiracy theories all this time.

  16. Jer on October 25th, 2008 at 2:42 am

    She was alive hours before she died?
    Wow, thats surprising.

  17. Anonymous on November 2nd, 2008 at 1:35 am

    Whoa! She was ALIVE before she was DEAD? Wow. I’m shocked.

  18. Jabroney on January 16th, 2009 at 9:21 am

    I love that in spite of the 20 previous comments that point out it was a satirical piece, the last two clowns above me took the time to point out the obvious. Well done!

  25. Ange on November 19th, 2009 at 3:26 pm

    Exclusive to ALL newspapers? Was I the only one that caught that?

  26. Ange on November 23rd, 2009 at 11:01 pm

  27. Elsie on December 27th, 2009 at 10:39 am

    This is from Private Eye, a satirical paper, see: http://www.private-eye.co.uk/ – I’m pretty sure I remember it. It is funny, though…

  28. megajester on January 6th, 2010 at 4:35 pm
