MSN does it again..

An unfortunate piece of layout here, pairing a news story on the murdered Hells Angel with an ad from Harley Davidson ( check the wording on the ad).

Does it REALLY matter what brand/model motorcycle he was riding when he was shot? Almost seems that the story is making a cause/effect comparison: Ride a Harley Nighttrain and you get shot.

And I thought the media over here was the pits.....

The ad is right. Get out, go ride!



The London Times has a similar, but not as severe layout issue. Just below and to the right of the murder victim is a picture of a pig; do they have the Harley Owner Group in the UK, or is it called something else?

For wearing a T-shirt? That's pathetic.
