THAT CANNOT BE A COW
Comment gold under this Daily Mail story about a newsreader doing a story about a dead animal found on a Cornwall beach, initially thought to be a polar bear but later discovered to be a cow. Not everyone's buying that explanation, though:
It's a cover-up! Aaargh! One thing I do like about Mail readers - and I do mean like - is the way in which they think critically about a lot of things, more critically than perhaps they're sometimes given credit for. They're not prepared to just accept what they're told by 'the man'. Of course there's a fine line between being a sceptical thinker and turning into David Icke, and I fear Lauren may have wandered slightly across it.
This being a Mail story, though, it wouldn't be a comments section without a proper helping of misogyny:
Yeah, terrific.
Thanks to Tom for the tipoff!

ffs…
but her genuine belief in the cover up is endearing/borderline worrying!!!

To be fair, it does look a lot like a polar bear.
Oh no, I agreed with a Daily Mail reader! Unclean! Unclean!

But why would anyone cover this up? Or is it an alien polar bear perhaps?

“Where are it’s ears?”
Well, much like it’s face and legs, it looks like they may have been eaten by the sea life.
That CANNOT be a Daily Mail reader… Oh, hang on…

Yeah, this is a great comment too (referring to the ITV newsreader who read the story about it being a polar bear):
ITS BLONDE
ITS A WOMAN

“They feared it was a polar bear washed several thousand miles from the North Pole and immediately rang the local TV station.”
Yeah, when I find a dead…something on the beach, I go to call a TV station…
