We all know that the only good part of the Capital Times is the film reviews, but this week, it's also fun to play "what exactly is their sub editor smoking?".

Exhibit A: a story about choreographer Michael Parmenter, diagnosed with HIV nearly 20 years ago,titled "Still pegging away". Nice work.

Exhibit B: a piece about the Worser Bay School celebrating Dance Your Socks Off unofficially. The title? "Kids do it better". Umm........

I feel so naive! I wouldn't have read anything rude into either or those headlines, even being a regular reader of Savage Love!

Yes, I feel the Masked Barfly is straining here.

Also, it's maths, not math, sonny.
