Beer sign on school bus - SST article - Setup or real story?

Today I was surprised to be reading the Sunday Star Times and find an article that had stemmed from a Twitpic http://twitpic.com/2znukp I had posted on Twitter a week before. What I thought was an innocent mistake and a bit of a laugh, has made the national weekend newspaper.
Really people, this is news?


So I have some thoughts about this.


1. if this makes the news, then we live in a really fantastic, easy going country, with little other serious news to really report on.


2. since I didn't get a credit for the photo, either next to the photo or in the article other than "rival brewing company" then it is possibly a PR setup so DB can get some extra free advertising for Summer
Ale (nice work if you are that clever)


3. Sunday Star Times - not cool stealing my photo for your gain and profit. And even worse if it was a setup to help promote Summer Ale. At least give me a credit if you are going to steal from me. (Please see
