Crazy lady and TI
So this bitchy lady calls me up today at work and I promptly tell her to call my editor ... she was pissed about this photo,
which ran on our front page today. She said "Who authorized this photo to go on the front page of the newspaper with some man wearing an American flag on his head that's sopping up his sweat!?" She was irate. She called us a "stinkin" paper and my editor had to tell her to not use foul language. She made it sound like she was going to cancel her subscription over it. Wtf? She seemed convinced that we made the guy wear the thing or something. I don't think she gets how a newspaper works.
You never know what people are going to get excited about. My co-worker mentioned that there's a good chance it's just one of those bandana things meant to be worn on the head anyway. But if it's not, whatever, in my opinion.
As for me, I just found out they cancelled that production of Treasure Island I was considering doing ... so perhaps I made the right decision after all ...
