The Boys Consider Local Rock Journalism, Local Sports Coverage, and the LJ-World's Fondness for Front Page Animal Stories!

The sold-out Rockfest, with Buckcherry and Korn, happened Saturday and the Pitch's coverage largely focuses, quite naturally, on the amount of breasts on display there. Here are a few choice excerpts from their review:

"Tits, tats, boogans, trash and nonstop hard rock..."

"I had to just keep following the dude that was holding tight to his girlfriend's tits from behind."

"Amid the bead-tossing by creepy dudes who wanted to see the world's smallest underage tits and the spontaneous mosh pits that kept popping up everywhere, the music lulled. "

Richard: "My critics often say the LC is too 'juvenile,' too 'T & A' focused, to succeed as serious journalism. To them I say, fuck off. Our rock coverage is easily more mature than the Pitch's."

Chip: "I hate being called a 'boogan.' It's more offensive than 'hillbilly.'"

After a promising start to the season, the Royals have now begun the kind of losing streak we know so well (they've dropped 16 out of the last 21 games). Today's LJ-World offers the following assessment:

"Again they look like stumblebums and sadsacks, hopeless also-rans..."

Chip: "Finally, truth in local sports journalism."

With no local stories about cute animals for today's edition, the LJ-World decided to go with a national story, printing a front-page photo of adorable penguins and this headline:

"These penguins, among the largest in the world, are hard to track during Antarctica’s harsh winters, but scientists now can track them using a surprising method: their poop."

Chip: "Any hunter in Forttt Scottt could have told you long ago that poop (we call it 'scat') is an important method of tracking an animal."
