That reminds me of hearing a report on the shark attack death in the Bahamas the other day, where some US breakfast news described it as "A family vacation was cut short after a deadly shark attack". It's not quite as bad and as unaware, but it was still weird.

It reminds me of a daily mail article covering the death of a friend of mine, who was hit by a police chase as she was going to the ATM. the law firm she worked for was in the first paragraph, the value of her parents house was in the second paragraph, the bangladeshi taxi driver who was also killed in the crash was mentioned in the sixth paragraph. He had three kids. It made me surprisingly furious, and would have horrified her.

no, this is what passes for newspapers in the UK. As far as I can tell this is what the mail has always been like.
*The lineage of both can be traced backed to Charles Dickens . He'd be thrilled I'm sure.

TBH I really don't know. It ticked along blandly in the 50s and 60s but inherited the editorial staff of the tabloid Daily Sketch when it went bust in the early 70s. That seems to be when it changed radically, but I'm really not sure as I didn't see it then. The Harmsworth/Rothermere family are still part of the ownership group as they have been since WW1.Last edited by Amor de Cosmos; 04-07-2019, 01:31.

Could be a photo shoot for a magazine? Or, yes, Chinese couples often like to have lots of different wedding photos taken before the wedding, and some of them are deliberately humorous. This is probably an attempt to replicate the stereotype of a typical Western marriage. They might have other photos taken performing other marriage tropes. I don't really see the harm.

Nor do I.
I found the take on "typical Western marriage" to be amusing and revealing as to both sides of the purported cultural divide.
It is largely impossible to go to photogenic parts of NYC on a weekend without seeing East Asian bridal parties being ferried around town for photographs.
