Katy Perry Killed A Nun! (and other reductionist summaries)

    This happened overnight in Los Angeles
    The sisters have owned the sprawling Roman-villa style convent for 40 years, the Associated Press reported. Only a small handful of nuns were still alive when they vacated the complex several years ago, as the diocese looked for someone to buy it.

    That someone was Perry – known for her hit “I Kissed a Girl,” among other things. The nuns did not approve.
    “We asked her to save us,” Holzman told the cameras outside the courthouse. The nuns had accepted that the legal system would not save their convent from being sold to a pop star, so they pleaded with the Vatican and Perry herself to take mercy.

    Then they stood up and walked inside the courtroom, and only one came out.

    "It’s not doing anyone any good,” Holzman said, then walked into a courtroom, collapsed and died.

    Anyone else fancy coming up with a similar sensationalist headline for a story far more complicated?

    Taking photos of nuns, I'd not be in the Habit.

    Years ago I went on a first date with a guy who was obviously under the weather but absolutely refused to reschedule. Over the course of the evening he looked paler and paler, beads of sweat appearing on his upper lip and he was clearly suffering but refused to call it a night. Eventually the evening ended when he collapsed, followed by a fast ambulance journey, scans, tests, admission, packing up belongings, buying pyjamas and staying at the bedside of a relative stranger (now a pal), who was a visitor to my city at the time. I even picked his mother up at the airport.

    The headline version: I Put A Man In Hospital On Our First Date.

    And they'd be nun to happy if you did, simply because your a bloke. If you do get an urge to photograph one, ask one of your Sisters to do it. Yet another case of reverse sexism, but not in the Conventional way. In other news, Conor Mc Gregor.
