What is up with the one that just has a bunch of random letters for the headline? Whoever did that one could have tried a bit harder I think - at least thrown a few random numbers in there too.

In local news:

Dog tied to a post.

Sun rose this morning.

I guess, on the positive side, if that is all they have to write about then maybe everything isn't going to hell in a handbasket?

To be honest, the headline and story at the top about "Asbo teen poetry" bothers me a lot more than the filler text being left in. The latter is just a one-off error, the former is revealing of a whole world of ruinous, ghastly wrong-headedness.

It's written in 'dog'.

It's the noise dogs make when they're tied to a post outside a supermarket.

The Asbo one is the odd one out because it hasn't been properly translated into 'chav', innit?

I think Leg-Iron's right - it's in dog!

"I guess, on the positive side, if that is all they have to write about then maybe everything isn't going to hell in a handbasket?"

Think that's what they call false hope!

"To be honest, the headline and story at the top about "Asbo teen poetry" bothers me a lot more..."

Yeah, I had a look at that. Wonder what they are going to do now ASBOs are on the way out?

"It's the noise dogs make when they're tied to a post outside a supermarket."

Yes! :)
