Knives are out

IS THE DAILY MAIL NEWSPAPER GUILTY OF INCITEMENT TO MURDER, ON VAST NUMBER OF OCCASIONS? One man believes the national press are using NLP to plant messages into the brains of killers.

"What I can tell you, is that since the Daily Mail was sent a formal cease and desist letter on June 22nd - cease and desist "knives are out" and "knives come out" and "knives are being sharpened" (which also included a request for £200,000 to be remitted by DMGT plc to charity), and also phones to other newspaper editor's offices to request ceasing use of knife metaphors of this sort, there has been during the last two months a MASSIVE reduction in knife crime in the UK."

"If you ever see knife cacophemisms being used in Daily Mail or its group of newspapers please call 0800 0845 001, so that I can inform my legal team. "Have knife metaphors in the media led to knife crime?" is being published in 'Inside Time', the newspaper for prisonners, in approximately 3 weeks time from this date, and I am hoping for a good response - if the case is fully proven, I will seek a very substantial charity donation from Associated Newspapers Ltd. If DMGT will not co-operate, I will need to invoke corporate incitement to murder legal action."

TYPING IN ALL CAPS NEVER HELPS?

To review, the terms of debate are whether the Daily Mail or the Abovetopsecret forums are more credible. Begin.

That was his caps, not mine.

Given the Jan Moir controversy today, perhaps we are avoiding the REAL ISSUE with the paper. Or, um, not.

I hope to see his stinging editorial on how Dr. Dre is guilty of incitement to make poor choices about recreational drug use.

Every time I read the Daily Mail I feel a tremendous urge to murder the editors of the Daily Mail.

Just another nail in the coffin for the Daily Mail 'round here.
