The picture is of a Swedish tabloid headline. It reads: 300 000 in Sweden. The sneak test that exposes if your workmate is a psychopath. 20 quick questions.
I realise that one should not dignify the tabloids with the dignity of the press. As common knowledge dictates – they are not “real” newspapers. However they do fall under the freedom of the press protections. I realise that this is a dangerous road to tread but with great freedom comes great responsibility. Should the tabliods be allowed to publish anything without fear of reprisal? Why should their position be so unthreatened if all they do is this (and worse).
