... Why didn't you just go with the nice round figure of A$100k?

MELBOURNE (REUTERS) - The Australian state of Queensland on Saturday (Sept 15) offered a A$100,000 (S$98,450) reward for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for sabotaging strawberries with sewing needles.

Hurr, it's almost like neither of you read the title. Here, I'll quote it for you: Australian state offers $98,450 reward as strawberries sabotaged with needles

I think he's just being OCD people.

I'll make this easy for you. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/58263/4cbfd1d2-ac4e-4d95-a559-e14c10bbcbfa/image.png https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/58263/ccff8a4a-007e-4215-b7c8-35dfcdefa1c7/image2.png https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/58263/b20ca460-864b-4d12-9a2d-a4161f01ee5d/image3.png https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/58263/b02e137a-932c-451e-aeb8-6c7bda283f1d/image4.png

You're completely missing the point. There was zero need to fiddle with the number in the title.

Newspapers frequently either specific currency or convert to local for headlines, what is the issue?

What's the motive I wonder? If they wanted to tank their price they succeeded, but why? ABC News reported on Saturday that wholesale prices have halved to 50 Australian cents per punnet below the cost of production in Western Australia, where strawberries crops are now peaking, with growers forced to dump tonnes of the fruit.

Oh my god just stop already, there is literally no reason to defend misreading something.

What does it fucking matter? They didn't fiddle with the number since this a Singaporean publication so they converted the reward to their local currency for the title, which lots of countries do btw. They then put the actual AUS value in the first sentence of the article. I'm baffled as to why this is such an issue to you. Is this really the hill you wanna die on?

I'd hate to be someone who discovered a needle in their berry the hard way.

He obviously didn't. He is asking the OP why the OP didn't just use the 100k number. Look at the phrasing of his first post.

some cunt was probably upset that he was being fired or something like that.

Well even in that case the OP is from Singapore and he copied the articles title which is from a Singaporean publication. He really has zero reason to change it anyway since the AUS value is in the article.

Uh cause its the fucken title of the article God guys what a retarded thing to argue about

can we stop talking about the title and instead talk about how fucked up that strawberry needle thing is

Man, death sentence to whoever did that. I have a few strawberry plants in my garden. My blood boils whenever I see them prickled with holes from cunt birds.

I can't believe people are complaining about OP NOT editing the title in a SH thread for once.

This sort of thing should legit be considered attempted murder.

already put a man in the intensive care unit, luckily he didn't die from it but it's just bound to happen

Hopefully they find the cunts responsible and slap them with some heavy charges, there's no telling what kind of damage this will cause both individually and economically.

I agree. Just how fucked up is it? Damn, fuck..

Hurr it's almost like you read literally nothing except the title.

Lmao seriously guys
