Now we can safely say the NT News is known for, um, pushing journalistic boundaries when it comes to their front covers. See here:
And here:
But this latest one really takes the cake…
It has everything. A filthy joke and a subject matter so inimitably Aussie it hurts… Mudflaps, a ute and heaps of thongs.
And don’t think us eagle-eyed didn’t notice the ‘CU in the NT’ bumper sticker…
The NT News posted the cover to their Facebook page last night with the caption: “Tomorrow’s front page is surely award-winning”.
One user asked them: “Do you folks have a team meeting and then draw your ideas out of a hat? Do you put it to a vote? Or is there actually somebody employed as Headline Pun Master Extraordinaire? Or are these trade secrets us common folk are not and will never be privy to?”
To which The NT News official account replied: “We drink lots and then decide what to do”.
Certainly sounds like a fun newsroom!
Oh, and should you care to have a read about the man using old thongs as mudflaps, do head over to the NT News’ website.
