Hamlet texts: "2B r..." Ophelia texts back" "...NOT 2B babe!" Then a text following on her just sent text "G'd nite sweety prince!" she minces irony with sarcasm "Yo, bitch...get thee to a nunnery!" Hamlet always direct and cruder. 'SOMETHING'S ROTTEN IN THE STATE OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP!" THE NEWS OF THE WORLD proclaims the next day.

HAMLET HACKED
Hamlet texts: "2B r..." Ophelia texts back" "...NOT 2B babe!" Then a text following on her just sent text "G'd nite sweety prince!" she minces irony with sarcasm "Yo, bitch...get thee to a nunnery!" Hamlet always direct and cruder. 'SOMETHING'S ROTTEN IN THE STATE OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP!" THE NEWS OF THE WORLD proclaims the next day.
The News of the Screws or The Screws of the World as it was called even back in Shakey's day probably had their own Clive Good-man who probably had a terrible hack hacking...cough. Shakespeare wrote the now alas lost play KING MURDOCK or as it was subtitled ALL'S UNWELL THAT ENDS ILL. Frederick Greenwood, editor of the Pall Mall Gazette, met in his club one day Lord Riddell and in the course of conversation Riddell said to him, "You know, I own a paper." "Oh, do you?" said Greenwood, "what is it?" "It's called the News of the World—I'll send you a copy", replied Riddell, and in due course did so. Next time they met Riddell said, "Well Greenwood, what do you think of my paper?" "I looked at it", replied Greenwood, "and then I put it in the waste-paper basket. And then I thought, 'If I leave it there the cook may read it'—so I burned it!" The last edition was published on the 10 of July back in 2011..I am celebrating it's GONE-NESS!
