The Daily Survivor -- a great way to lose money

So an idea which I had while trying to get to sleep would be to start a daily newspaper, because I hear that there is big money in that industry. BIG MONEY TO BE LOST, THAT IS!

Anyhow the paper would be called "The Daily Survivor" and it would have headlines like "Mohamed Ali... still the Greatest" (which was actually a Houston Chronical front page headline some years back" and "Man in Critical Condition lives through the night" and "993 of 1000 occupants of burning building survive." Get the picture? It would be a daily reporting of the news with the angle that people either survived, weren't killed, are still alive, or aren't dead yet. The incidents where newspapers report death would be covered by mentioned at first who was alive prior to the incident and then all the people who survived. The fact that someone died would never be reported.

It could be one of the most annoying newspapers ever.
"Too late or still too soon too soon to make lots of bad love and there's no time for sorrow. Run around, run around with a hole in your head 'til tomorrow."
