Humorous Relationships
This will be a quick post but I had to note it. Drudge is great at creating relationships on the Drudge Report that can be humorous, or even that provide a social commentary. He does it just with the juxtaposition of 2 or more headlines (or photos). Today is a great example of that. He has the headline, “Man Charged With Plot to Assassinate Bush…,” which is a serious story about a terrorist-tied plot. But then grouped together just below it: “Belgian Government Touts Bush Urinal Targets…” There’s an accompanying pic of the urinal target to really drive home the “targeting” fun.

That reminds me of the Kerry-Edwards “groping” photos. People were saying that Drudge was seriously insinuating a homosexual liaison between them, but I saw it as an ironic social commentary: after months of dissing one another, they were getting all lovey-dovey.
