True, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder or the news editor looking for circulation.
There was a report in one of our local papers of a youth who had died recently, about how wonderful a son he was, kind, gentle etc and how everybody loved him.
The subsequent inquest revealed he and a mate had, yet again, stolen somebody's car, driven it around like madmen with no concern for anybody's safety and then c*cked up and smashed it into a lamp post at high speed. (No police chase involved.) The mate legged it from the scene and was arrested later.
