Disability rhyming from The Sun

Posted by Crippled Monkey

So did anyone see the front page of this morning?

They published a report about, in their own words, "a 17-stone mum with arthritis [who] craves sex with hook-handed fanatic Abu Hamza". Hasn't that story just got it all when it comes to disability?!

We've covered some of the sensationalist reporting of Abu Hamza's prosthesis in the past here on Ouch (see Abu Hamza: hooked by the press from our Behind the News section, dated January 2003), as well The Sun getting into hot water when it referred to Frank Bruno's mental health problems under the headline "Bonkers Bruno locked up". So with their new-found sense of disability awareness, what headline do you think The Currant Bun chose for this morning's essential piece of news reporting?

"I WANT NOOKIE WITH HOOKIE".

Well, it does rhyme, at least.
