The UK's Motorcycle News earlier this week contributed a cracking example to the "unfortunate juxtaposition of content and advertisement" genre with this piece (http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/News/newsresults/mcn/2007/August/aug13-19/aug15shothellsangelfirstpicture/?&R=EPI-93608) on murdered biker Gerard Michael Tobin:

Given that Tobin was riding a Harley-Davidson FXSTB Night Train when shot on the M40 on Sunday, it's hard to see how this could be bettered.
Police, meanwhile, continue to probe the 35-year-old Canadian's death, and have asked anyone with info to call either Warwickshire Police's incident room on 01926 415581 or anonymously via CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800 555 111. ®
Thanks to Lee Ball for the tip-off.
