Indian Journalism Has Sunk To A New Low
On the front page of the Times of India newspaper this morning was a headline that read, "7/11 Victims Want Govt To Lend Them A Hand." Below the headline was a photograph of a survivor of last year's July 11th train bombing in Mumbai. The survivor was an older man with an amputated arm just below the elbow, holding a prosthetic hand.
I think the concepts of political correctness or personal sensitivity are not in use in this instance. This is a very sober topic, but how can I take this poor man seriously with such a clever headline? Where was the editor on this one?

Sorry, but that is too funny, I'm with you, how can that be so serious. Do you think the copy right caught the irony?
