Newspapers for me elicit quite a range of reactions and emotions. You get the funny stories (like the three Somali pirates), tragic stories (like the three Somali pirates if you believe that those Somalis didn\u2019t have a choice in making a legitimate living), and heartwarming ones like Susan Boyle\u2019s amazing performance at Britain\u2019s Got Talent.<\/p>\n
Then you also have stories in which you just feel like smacking someone. Read on and see what I mean:<\/p>\n

After all, I can afford it.
