People of Britain

The headline on the front page of today's Daily Sport is "Dog Kills Farmer With Tractor"


Go forth and reward this marvellous piece of journalism by buying said publication.

Early evidence points to this dog as the likely suspect:

Without bothering to research the story, I'm guessing some bloke with the last name Dog killed some bloke with the last name Farmer?

This is the Daily Sport, they would never think of the headline if it wasn't an actual dog and an actual farmer, or perhaps they are making it up

I don't know what that paper is. I assumed it was about sport.

It's a paper full of topless woman and sex line ads, and, tragically, fake topless shots eg Britney's head pasted onto a glamour mdoel's body

Daily Sports ace, someone always leaves a copy of the Sunday Sport lying around work, its just sheer fun to laugh at some of the **** it prints, then of course the adverts for Grannies in Suspenders and the like.

The Daily Record reported that the dog was in the cab of a telescopic loader machine while the engine was still running and the handbrake off.

Not killed by the dog, killed by his own stupidity

'Let me leave the tractor running with the handbrake off whilst i dump stuff right infront of it'

This is the paper that once reported a Lancaster Bomber was found on the moon, so there's a fair chance, I'd say.

It's an anagram:

Sex
Porn
Orgies
Rubbish
Tits

Slightly misleading tho, but.

Definitely an anagram, not an acronym?
