Ursine Defecation Habits Headline
A quick introduction: this is intended to be a running series of headlines which seem to state the blindingly obvious, provoking the natural response: "Is that really news?"
Today's contribution, from today's Telegraph: "Lesbians flock to Lesbos". Given the etymology of the word "lesbian", this is somewhat like saying "English flock to England". It's worth noting that this is actually a cut-down version of a headline, displayed for space constraints on the web page (for some strange reason). Not realising this, I clicked on the article, hoping to find some bizarre story about how some latent homing instinct had kicked in in lesbians worldwide, causing them to drop their business and head for Lesbos en masse. Sadly, the truth, as revealed in the full headline, was not quite so interesting: "Lesbians flock to Greek island of Lesbos for festival".
