  And the Irish reader is off critiquing again, because he/she’s not reading about Murder/Hate/Devastation or Cutbacks!
  
  The article in itself is kind of painful!

  Speak for yourself, it gave me the giggles. Plus it’s in the Daily Edge, and what did you expect with a title like “9 reasons why couples are unhappy, according to weird stock photos”?

What was the point of this drivel? I’m slightly hungover, it is fecking miserable out and could have done without this little extra annoyance.

It made me chuckle :-) But then again, I think you have to know these sort of stock photos to see the humour. I work with these kind of photos as a graphic designer and I wondered about the meaning of some of them as well.

Michael, I actually think you are the office cleaner. You pounce when an actual journal.ie staff member goes to the toilet and leaves their machines unlocked. You basically just fraped the journal. Let this be a lesson real journal.ie staff. Lock your machines.

People need to lighten up. Not every article has to be about doom and gloom, though Irish people do love to moan. You didn’t have to read the article.

Were those couples paid for posing for the photographer, if they were then good for them…..That would be the only plus in that article, other than that it is pure rubbish, can’t think why the Journal would print this..
