Frankly, even though I'm certainly a big fan of the word 'fuck,' I would be turned off by the title at first glance unless I knew the writer and could, by that familiarity, gauge the amount of substance that is going to follow in the article.
Obviously in this instance though there was no substance to follow for, as I read it, there is no article. It just seems kind of trite and presumptuous. What does tasering have to do with Bush? I dunno, just seems like someone trying to be cute.
That really doesn't answer the question, I suppose. But I don't necessarily think it's a school newspaper's responsibility to give voice to this kind of dialogue. If there were something more there to sink one's teeth into as far as supporting material, I would probably feel differently.
