Photo placements on The Local

Ever find the layouts on The Local a little odd in terms of picture placement?

Guess it's all about your perspective...



Presumably the guy had been trying to text whilst driving and lost it when the network went down.

That's one serious litter problem.

That's real rejection, when your hooker falls asleep.

A psychological portrait.

Ballack is smokin' hot!

And apparently we're delighted about it, Prost!

How come their headline fonts keep switching back and forth between Arial and Georgia? Talk about an unruhiges Bild.

Recession? I'll drink to that.

thanks for publishing that keydeck. i would find myself getting totally confused by the pictures not fitting with the text. so i just stopped reading the local. sorry, bob.

Eeeewww...

haha! Whilst I was reading TheLocal.de today, I remembered about this thread.
Fortunately for TT, Keydeck is feeling less lazy than I am and actually cropped the photo to put in here.

Good job.

Seems a bit drastic?

Really...

Has anyone ever remarked upon the irony that far right German nationalists call (and apparently also tattoo, as shown above) themselves as "Skinheads" in English?

If they were really as dedicated to the whole "Deutschland fur die Deutschen" thing as they claim to be, why wouldn't they call themselves something authentically German, like "Hautkopfen" or "Glattkopfen"?
