Sensitivity Fail

So reading the newspaper this morning, I didn't see anything really interesting except the very cool horror novella by Koji Suzuki "Drop" printed on toilet paper (I blogged it here), when I came across an article where my local newspaper had a sensitivity failure.

So, as you see, sitting above the headline "Indigent Burials Swell in Bad Economy" it reads "Death and Taxes". This phrase from Benjamin Franklin, "Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes," was a tongue-and-cheek statement...it was a joke.

And my newspaper uses it in association with an article about the poor dying...

Twigi!

Here's the article, if you're interested.
