Fluffed headline of the day

From The Metro:

"Peta slams Hilton's pig purchase"

*sigh*

If you're going to do alliteration, shouldn't that read "Peta pillories Paris' pig purchase"?

*/sigh*

Pelt protector provides pedantically portrayed personal porcine preference?

Would Metro readers understand what "pillories" means?

Would they rather she ate it? I somehow think that a pet pig, however starved of attention, must have a better life than your average factory weaner. This, BTW, is presumably the same PETA that advocates imprisonment indoors for all pet cats "for their own safety"!

Why would she eat it? She paid $4,500 for a miniature pig. That'd work out more expensive than caviar.

"That'd work out more expensive than caviar."

I think that would be the main attraction.
