The Sun Wants to See Your Veg
Mar 22, 2007
There are so many things about this story (about a parsnip that looks like a witch) that make it Great Journalism:
1. Headline: "The Root of All Evil"
2. The picture of the man and his parsnip
3. The fact that a parsnip made the news at all
5. This quote: "Brian . . . has grown veg (veg? WTF, Britain?)
for five years. He said keeping a parsnip was a 'bit odd' and it could
still end up on his plate or even in a broth." Well gee, I'll have to
make sure I catch the follow-up article, when we find out the thrilling
conclusion.
6. The part after the article where The Sun asks, "Who does your veg look like?" and solicits reader responses.
YOU KNOW WHAT MY VEG LOOKS LIKE

Honestly, I think it would literally make my day to open my newspaper up and see a funky parsnip (or veg, if you will). Enough of the politics and killing. We need more veg in this world.
