A whale of a headline to write
The story of the surfers versus the Bondi whale is a golden news gift.
And the headline, as the Australian and the SMH demonstrate, writes itself. Here’s the SMH:
And here’s The Australian’s take:
While Dr Mumbo gives extra credit to The Oz for the additional pun (the unconscious surfer was a doctor), the real question is this: How come this could happen at a beach with hundreds of people present, and not one person could capture a decent picture of the moment they were thrown in the air? Call yourself citizen journalists?

my partner and I both groaned at the inevitable TV pun-lite on this. At least somebody could have worked Captain Ahab into it.
It was a complete fluke..
