WTF news item that got my "goat" today!

Is this gem in the health and science section of the TOI website. Let me start by clarifying something. Yes. I am an idiot for reading TOI. Accepted.

But, in my defence, this article was in the health and science section. I thought it would be some study that found that scantily clad women enjoy eating meat. Bizarre..yes. I was also expecting a good laugh...which is usually why I read TOI. But reading this crapola in the morning is not conducive to completing delicate experiments with a cool head. So, I am MAD.

I don't even want to get started on the feminist(some would even call it human!) aspect of this silly article. Its beyond outrageous. Lets just focus on some of the other stuff. That way I'll feel better, and my experiments won't suffer.

Exhibit A:

Sheik Hilali said there were women who "sway suggestively" and wore make-up and immodest dress ... "and then you get a judge without mercy (rahma) and gives you 65 years".

Your grammar, dear sir, is shocking! At the very least it should be; there are women who sway suggestively(no doubt its the weed that accounts for the swaying, just like in that Hare Krishna Movie. All the women swayed as one!) and wear make-up and dress immodestly.(full stop) Then you get a judge without mercy(or even "a merciless judge" works), WHO gives you 65 years.

How shocking! A judge who sends men to jail for raping women. These Australians, I tell you. Silly buggers.

Exhibit B:

"But the problem, but the problem all began with who?"

Repetitive. Never end a sentence with who. Someone please give this Hilali dude a Wren and Martin.

Exhibit C:

The leader of the 2000 rapes in Sydney's southwest, Bilal Skaf, a Muslim, was initially sentenced to 55 years' jail, but later had the sentence reduced on appeal.

WTF is "leader of the 2000 rapes?" Could it possibly be leader of the gang that raped 2000 women? Were they going for some kind of world record maybe? Now they have clubs that have raping women on their agenda? 2 rapes, you're in. 5 and you become an associate member. 20 and you're an executive member. Great. All we need. Rapists of the world uniting in the pursuit of a singularly pure goal. Forcing themselves brutally on unwilling women.

God save me! Hilali is an ass. But thats OK...I wouldn't expect him to be anything else. The TOI journo who wrote this piece is another case altogether. And the editor (or whoever the f*&% did it!) who put in the health and science section...kudos to you. You rock! Not only do you not know the meaning of health and science, but you also managed to impair my health (my sanity is important to my health) and my science in one fell swoop. Thank you.
