How come, when you glance at a new paper and see a photo. Say a boy in his school uniform you instantly know he died tragically. However, if the same boy was shown in a hoody or a crappy CCTV picture then you instantly know he did some wrong, normally to the "tragic" boy.

You can get a right little sthead teenager, who gets beaten up. the newspaper show him in his school photo looking all sweet and innocent and it instantly means the little git was a angel.

I also hate it when they show a picture of the kid in uniform, taken when he or she was 12, then in the article it says they were 17 - couldn't they have gotten a more recent photo.

This really annoys me and i dont know why

Also when papers do a report obout anti-social behaviour (as in kids being kids, generally) they always show a hoody with a knife! WFT!

No wonder everyone is paranoid.

Every kid that dies was a model student, well liked by everyone, and sorely missed.

The class asshole never seems to get it.

Well yes, there is the fact that 'Johnny was an angel who wouldn't harm a fly and was always helping his Nan but was easily led'... which never adequately explains how Johnny came to be behind the wheel of a stolen Audi, upside down in a ditch at 4am, full of moody stereos and with fifty quids worth of skunk in his pockets. Aged 15.

I was just painting a picture.

Initially I thought 'a boot full of midget porn' but then changed my mind.

I'm now picturing two naked midgets going at it like...well...midgets I suppose, in the boot of an Audi.

Yup...or if it's an adult scrote then it'll be his wedding photo, usually accompanied by a tearful quote from his widow, which nearly always goes along the lines of "He was a loveable rogue".
