New Discovery Revolutionizes Understanding of Stonehenge
Honestly, it seems like every week—especially in the pagan press, especially especially around the Summer Sunstead—you see yet another article announcing yet another new discovery that's going to revolutionize our understanding of Stonehenge.
Somehow, none of them ever do.
Of course, I always read them. Hope springs eternal in the pagan heart.
Now, it must get tedious for journalists to have to write this same article over and over again, week after week after week.
So here's a generic template article to relieve all those underpaid, overworked journalists of the burden of having to come up with a fresh angle every bloody time some "startling" new discovery is announced. Just plug in the relevant information, and publish.
And once again, the rest of us will sit back and prepare to be underwhelmed.
