BTR:

Kanye West Shocks Ellen with a 6 minute rant!

Click here

If it was Ellen shocks Kanye with a 500kva cable that would be more interesting......

Or maybe the other way round. Actually not sure. I'd be hoping for both I think!

Those agencies don't produce real articles, and all words are made up.

"Freak motocross 'tragedy': Man had been cheering on grandson"

^First up, what's with the single quotes around 'tragedy'?

Second, the lead in:

"Bruce Honore and his wife Meri had been at the Cambridge motocross track cheering on their 8-year-old grandson when a bike flew across the barrier tragically killing him and injuring his wife."

Is my grammar really so bad? I cannot understand who was killed from that sentence. It is a serious question if someone wants to explain it in grammar terms.

That was on Prime news too. Admittedly on their 'and finally' bit, but surely there's better stuff out there. I was waiting for the funny bit but it never came.

Assuming the 8-year old grandson isn't married, Bruce is dead and Meri is injured. Not sure why 'tragedy' has the single quotes though - makes it look like the writer thinks Bruce's death was a blessing in disguise.
