    "PARENTS spotted the character name on the box of chocolate flavoured Weetos and their anger has resulted in Weetabix vowing to change it."

    <laugh>

    Why do the tabloids use words like "vow" and "insist" unnecessarily?

    It's typical Daily Record sensationalist bollocks. They talk about parents' fury in the headline, but the first parent they quote says:

    &#8220;It&#8217;s not appropriate for something which is so clearly aimed at children. But it is funny.&#8221;

    They can't even be consistent with their bullshit.

    "Fury" is a tabloid favourite. Along with shame, hell, blast, slam and feud.

    I used to like it when a Scottish side were drawn against a decent foreign team in Europe, the sub headline would go something like...

    "Rangers have been drawn against Italian CRACKS Juventus"

    Or when Jorg "the Hammer" Albertz used to score one of his 30 yarders, the papers described it as a "howitzer"

    I've not bought a tabloid in about 4 years now. Really miss Dear Deirdre :(

    Im sure the daily record had some kind of national coding system ; german teams were always " crack " , french teams were always " ace " italian teams were always " giants ", emergent eastern block countries were always " well drilled " etc..



    ( or maybe it was the italians who were " crack " , but , you know what I mean )

    I always liked "broadside". Fergie regularly fired "furious broadsides" at referees, the FA and opponents. You don't see it as much these days :(

    To be honest, I never noticed the "Big Baws" character.



    I was too busy pishing myself at the words "chocolatey hoops" on the Weetos box.
