Why did I ever leave?

So I was just checking out the online edition of Somerset's fine newspaper, The Daily American, to see who got engaged or married and noticed a new section. The paper now has a photo gallery of Buck kills (that's pictures of people and the dead male deer they shot). There's also a lovely Bear kills section as well. Charming.

PS On a side note, this brings up the high school memory of the time I opened the paper and saw a picture of my current boyfriend holding up a dead deer (I still have the newspaper clipping if you ever want to see it). The thing was, I had no idea he hunted and he didn't mention that he was going hunting, but there he was with his 5 point (that's really good) buck. This was by no means the oddest thing to happen while we were dating. And now he's married.

PPS If you're looking at the Daily American's home page and it's Friday, you'll notice they managed to find the only black guy in the county and put him on the front page, balancing out the photo galleries of dead animals.
