That reminds me of this Chinese take out place I used to live near that was right next door to some vet clinic. They were called Hon's Wok and Cat Clinic, shiat you not.

So you had | Hon's Wok | Cat Clinic |

It's in Saint Louis, right by Barnes Jewish hospital. Cats go in the front, out the back, in the back and out the front on a plate. Or at least that's what we had convinced ourselves of. I lol'd everytime I drove by it.

Not entirely relevant, but the "poor placement" made me think of that place.

But that's how the media creates fear. People are reading about a new airline but subliminally thinking that they're gonna crash because they're cheap.

There are at least 2 (that I know of) Chinese Restaurants right next to Animal Clinics here in Springfield, MA. It's eery.

there's nothing subliminal about a photo of a plane crash RIGHT NEXT to an article about planes. The connections are pretty much out in the open.

Isn't it about time to add a 'Tennessee' tag?

First it was Justis/Barbie and the state trooper, then it was Knox County undergoing a Federal civil right investigation for moving a library - one block, and now this.

Yes, that must be it. When I load the page I also see the plane crash, and not the still-shot from Airplane.

Actually you're being fairly idiotic. The point is that the site should have known better than to put that photo next to that article. If you have a story of a pedophile on the front page you don't put a picture of your town's mayor next to it. It is just common sense editing.

Wait, wait.. you're telling me that there have been THREE whole uninteresting stories that took place in Tennessee, and still no one will give you a tag? They obviously don't realize where the money is.

Somewhere in Tennessee is a strip mall that reads...

"Feet First Funeral home"

They should have planned store placement a bit better or at least changed fonts on the signs.
