I love how the New York Post came out swinging on the cowardly captain of the Costa Concordia with this headline: “Chicken of the Sea.”

In an ironic twist of fate, diners in one of the ill-fated cruise ship’s restaurants were listening to Céline Dion’s hit single My Heart Will Go On – the theme tune to James Cameron’s epic starring Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet – when it struck rocks on Friday night.

How is this song not banned on all cruise lines? That’s like playing the movie “Alive” on an airplane.

Unfortunate Juxtaposition spotted in today’s edition of the Swedish daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter, a full-page ad promoting cruise line packages just to the right of a full-page article about the Costa Concordia disaster.

Newspaper layout people should know better than this when a disaster has occurred.

Six dead, 16 missing is the latest count in the Costa Concordia disaster. A couple from Minnesota are among the missing.
