“MAN JAILED AFTER STEALING PRICELESS HUIA FROM DANNEVIRKE MUSEUM”

The above, a Stuff site heading. And the accompanying story’s opening line; brace yourself… “A stuffed huia worth as much as $15,000, was stolen…”

It takes world-class sub-editing stupidity to take a journalist’s story opening with a dollar value amount and then write a heading calling it priceless.

Doubtless the sub’ will point to the Lower Court judge Jonathan Krebs inane contradictory comment, “it may be valued at $15,000 but was probably priceless” in defence.

Jonathan take note: If it’s valued at $15,000 then it’s not bloody priceless.
