The WW **F** had:

-ugly women brawling in figure skating outfits  
-buff midgets being fallen on by fat men  
-a white southern aristocrat and his uneducated black servant  
-animals being thrown at people

Yeah, that was on the front page of our city’s newspaper with a huge picture of her. The stabbings, rapings, and crack deaths that happened the night before followed on the less important pages.

A couple of months ago, a thirteen year old girl was gang raped on the street and it followed the front page’s dramatic retelling of a cat being rescued from a tree. (seriously)

I love Ms. Elizabeth, but I hate our paper.

[Here’s](http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2003/05/01/77209.html) a link on the Miss Elizabeth story. Mostly speculation, at the moment.
