Hulk Doll Packs Big Green Surprise

Monday July 7, 2003
A reader wants to know if a story published today in the London tabloid The Sun claiming that a six-year-old girl won a Hulk doll in a local contest, pulled down its purple shorts and, to her shock and dismay, 'uncovered a giant green WILLY' [sic] is true. Let's just say I'm skeptical. This is, after all, the same rag that broke a story last year headlined 'Man Bonks Frozen Chicken.'  Not to belittle The Sun, but I have a hard time believing anything I haven't seen first in 96-point type on the front page of the Weekly World News. Maybe my journalistic standards are too ridiculously high. Discuss.
