    Acrostics: The art of hidden messages

    From the Grauniad, Did you spot the hidden message?

    The News of the World's hidden messages in its final crossword was only part of an inglorious tradition of editorial misbehaviour
    I rather liked James May's effort there.
    Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.

    And even that article had a hidden message. Dull as it was though.

      Guardian writers are not known for their acrostic ability because it would undermine the high seriousness of this organisation.

      Bit of a clumsy effort just to get the message across IMHO

        Particularly sarcastic and fumbling, but not overly appropriate sentiments, in my opinion.

          I like the addendum "The reference to the rebuke by Express leader writer Stephen Bollard in his final editorial mistakenly substituted the word "you" with "off". This has been corrected."

          Ah - not **** off, rather **** you. Thanks for that clarification.
          Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!
