What about HIS GONER?

Yesterday, an anonymous Toronto Sun Sucks commenter pointed out the bizarre headline on the September 26th Toronto Sun cover – printed the day after Mayor David Miller announced that he wouldn’t seek re-election next year.

The cover reads “HIS GONER”. The commenter mockingly ponders “What about his goner? Is there something  wrong with his goner? Did you mean “HE’S A GONER”? Because that’s not what you wrote down on the FRONT PAGE OF YOUR NEWSPAPER.”

Toronto Sun Sucks shares this reader’s viewpoint on the September 26th cover. I spent a fair portion of my day on Saturday wondering why on earth they would choose such a poor headline that wouldn’t make sense to the average person.

Let me explain though why the Sun went with this headline. You see, the Toronto Sun has a kennel in their basement where they keep a rabid canine that goes by the alias “Sue-Ann Levy”. When the Sun doesn’t feed her properly, she becomes very hostile and mean.

Levy commonly refers to the Mayor as “HIS BLONDNESS” in her articles. The September 26th headline was a poorly-conceived reference to HIS BLONDNESS. Now that Miller won’t be seeking re-election, the Sun is referring to him as “HIS GONER” (updated: rhyming with “His Honour” as pointed out by our readers). I know, I know - even with the explanation it’s still a silly headline.

But would you expect anything different from the Toronto Sun?
