I find it interesting the way in which language is contrived whence a statement is turned around upon itself to imply the opposite of what is said, ergo "We smoked dope before killing" - the headline from the Empty News. At first glance, this appears to indicate that the person who did the killing smoked dope.
No - you're wrong.
The text actually tells us that the victims were smoking marijuana before one of them was - allegedly - killed:
"Joanne Lees and Peter Falconio smoked marijuana shortly before a man stopped their van at an isolated Territory spot, a magistrate heard yesterday."¶ 09:25

Figures lie, liars figure... Actual journalists work for the SMH & ABC. Fucking hacks who get a stiffie out of making Lillipilli McGillicuddy piss her Depends is work for the Murdochiavellian.
SMH printed the joint smoking event as a tender last memory of the allegedly deceased. Natch, I thought this was cool as the majority of Aussies think a joint on hols is just fine.
Yes, the headline was witten to shock and awe. Problem is, anyone with 8 functioning synapses is shocked & awed by the inanity. When I get sucked in to a shithouse tale by a crafty headline, I feel stupider. Generates much less desire to read that news source... P.T. Barnum was wrong about me- I'm not fond of being fooled.
