Amy Winehouse Buried In St Lucia
OVERLOOKED for a judge’s berth on Britain’s Got Talent, Amy Winehouse is instead experiencing Caribbean heath care, having collapsed at her holiday villa.
So what happened to her?
A spokesman explains:
“Amy fainted after being out in the sun and without drinking water.”
It happens.
“She has been taking part in a lot of activities which also played a part.”
Activities? This is the non-denial denial, a fabulously obfuscating defence.
The PR establishes a back story: the client has not taken on enough water. He then feels compelled to add that client, in this case Winehouse, was not sitting in the sun just dehydrating, rather, she was engaged in “activities”.
Activities is a word suggestive of physical rigour. Beach volleyball? Sandcastle building? Being buried in a hole by a small boy; burying a small boy in a large hole?
But with nothing specified, the reader can only look at Winehouse’s track record and wonder if smoking a spliff or drinking a rum punch counts as a full fledged activity worthy of, say, a Girl Guides badge or an entry under “Hobbies” on Winehouse’s CV?

1 - It’s not a made-up story - it’s a story in the tabloid press. And as for that English…
“Don’t tell me that because this is ‘all in fun,’ that you do not have to achieve even that minimal journalistic standard-way to reach for the stars”
You giving classes, or taking them?

Could you at least check for spelling and grammar before you post this drivel?
Don’t tell me that because this is ‘all in fun,’ that you do not have to achieve even that minimal journalistic standard-way to reach for the stars.
The writers at the Onion do the same thing, only funnier, more creatively and they are able to do so in English, without the mistakes that any child should be able to avoid.
