Bad Choice of Words?

A high-flying City banker jumped eight storeys to his death from the roof of a restaurant because he feared he would be sacked over a prank internet posting, an inquest heard today.

Very naughty, but it's the Sh1trag Mail, so it's to be expected.:rolleyes:


Any other examples of this kind of thing springing to mind?

Surely he should have waited until he found out if he was definitely going to lose his job?

I'm not trying to make light of it, just saying.

Probably not the full story, and for something as trivial as that he would not be fired if he was genuinely a "high-flyer" (not a Daily mail bad taste phrase, it's the one most widely used everywhere for city/financial stories) and making DB a lot of money. It's also unlikely that he was no-drinking no-drugs type given the lifestyle in that industry that has been so widely reported over the past 2 years.

I remember when john savident got attacked by a rent boy, the headline said "stabbed twice, i say stabbed twice".

not necessarily a bad choice of words, but definitely the best headline i've ever read.
