Keeping It Real

This from a recent Investor’s Business Daily story on the coming IPO of KBW, Inc.

The boutique investment bank, better known as Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, first filed to go public in the heady market of 1999. It withdrew its plans after its then-chief executive was arrested for passing inside information to his girlfriend.

Girlfriend? Oh, please. Like this was Joanie and Chachi. This is why I get pissed off at the mainstream media. They’re such frickin wimps.
The story would also be correct if it were written like this:

It withdrew its plans after its then-chief executive was arrested for passing inside information to his girlfriend, the stripper and porn star Kathryn B. Gannon (aka Marylin Star), pictured above, and star of such titles as Marilyn Whips Wallstreet, Strap-on Sally 11,12, 13 & 14, Marylin Does Miami 1 & 2, Titman and Size Matters. Ms. Gannon also shared her inside information with yet another (let’s say) boyfriend. She then became a fugitive from justice as she fled to her native Canada. Gannon was later arrested, extradited and served three months in prison. One can only imagine it was a steamy, scantily-clad and sexually promiscuous all-female prison.

Now that’s journalism.
