Thank God they didn't take the Herald's angle
Can you imagine how that would have read
if they had attempted to go into FPD

Talk about all the news that's not fit to
print!
tha mata
I believe the Mata is a crime-ridden beech-veneer coffee table.
What's a Mata?
Maybe that lady who got EwwPerved could have used a Mata for protection. Better yet, Mr. Pervpants should have worn one himself.
the Mata is REAL!!!!
i am crying, crying trying to hold back my laughter
Yep, Real Mata
As opposed to anti mata, I guess.
But, as you pointed out, it definitely IS a laughing mata!
One must Mata the beast.
One must Mata the beast. Mata the MBTA debt beast.
Last Week's Looloo of an Oops
In the front page headline, Teh Metro referred to a reduction in Ovarian Cancer among birth control pill users as a "reduced infection rate".
That's not just stupid, it is dangerous. Not only does ovcxr have nothing to do with HPV that we know of, the article gives the impression that using birth control pills protects one from infection!!!!
The third yesterday in January
Further proof the Metro is written either by an MIT AI experiment or monkeys comes from Random Squeegee, who documents the paper's interesting use of "yesterday," as well as the whole Mata thing:
Eeka, meanwhile, suggest the Metro was simply gearing up for articles in Spanish: La historia indica que el MBTA mata menos pasajeros este año, pero... (basically: "Cool, the MBTA killed fewer passengers this year, but ...").
