These covers were intended to be a bit extreme, but last Saturday's Toronto Star actually stooped to the level of publishing a 'Karla Homolka Makeover' series of large colour photos featuring Homolka in a bunch of different hair styles clipped from fashion mags. But it really was the people at the SUN who let their obsession with Homolka hang out day after day ...
Speaking of the SUN, they dropped off free copies of their Monday edition on all the doorsteps in my 'hood. Clearly, they are becoming desperate as their readership numbers plummet but for a paper that had such a scrappy beginning, they're going down without much of a fight. The SUN was the one paper that didn't fight the newspaper war: no redesign, no content changes, no attempt to attract younger readers with annoying Leah McLaren-esque columnists. Even the SUN Girl has been punted to the back pages.
The SUN is like a dirty old man, slowly fading away.
