Could this possibly be the greatest tabloid newspaper headline ever?

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      A little background first: 3-foot, 6-inch Percy Foster was a porn star. Or so the Sunday Sport would have us believe (good luck confirming any of this via Google). The U.K. tabloid recently reported that Foster was the star of an X-rated flick called Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, It's Up Your Arse We Go (catch the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs reference?). He was also noted for his resemblance to celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.

      According to the Sport, Welsh Ministry of Agriculture officials say Foster's dead body was found in a badger's den in western Wales, partially eaten. Given that the den was supposedly slated to be gassed as part of a badger-extermination program, there is some speculation that this was a suicide attempt.

      Now, there's nothing at all funny about the poor man's death. In fact, it's downright tragic (assuming it actually happened). The hilarious part is the sheer audacity shown by the Sunday Sport. In fact, this might be the most tasteless (and therefore the ballsiest) headline since Ike Turner died and the always-classy New York Post ran the headline "Ike 'beats' Tina to death". Because, you see, she said he used to beat her, and then he died before her. Very clever.

      I apologize for including the following Soft Cell video, but how could I not?

      Oh Lord. If this is true, it's not at all funny, so I'd better pick myself off the floor and get a grip. Those badgers are such a naughty bunch, well known for den sex orgies. I personally knew a couple who lived at the end of my garden in the UK. The heavy breathing and squeals kept me awake all night. As for the "Hi-ho, hi-ho..." ditty, only in Britain...

      well...
