Bad Fucking Writing, Editors Asleep at the Wheel

January 25th, 2008

Can I submit this somewhere for the worst fucking analogy in a major newspaper, ever? And possibly the stupidest sentence written so far this year? (bolding mine)

The 247 lb. Vegan – WSJ.com

Three weeks later, he walked into the weight room at the Chiefs’ training facility and got a shock. The 100-pound dumbbells he used to easily throw around felt like lead weights.

Felt like lead weights, eh? You don’t say.

So let me make sure I am getting this straight. His weights, they felt really heavy?

… like weights?
