The headline “Shark grabs some Italian for lunch” is right there, but it’s kind of poor taste since the 48 year-old Rome resident who was killed by one of the vicious aquatic monsters while snorkeling in the Red Sea on Sunday probably didn’t deserve it. Egypt’s Ministry of Environment, on the other hand, seems to want to say he had it coming as, per AFP, their statement on the man’s deadly encounter with the shark and injuries to his 69 year-old buddy – also an Italian national – mentions it occurred in “deep waters outside the designated swimming area” of their vacation resort.
Could totally see some Egyptian newspaper making such a joke about it given that implication from the government. Whatever Cairo’s equivalent of the New York Post is will probably plaster “Hungry Red Sea Shark Snacks on Infidel-lafel!” or “Italian Meatball Sub served in Red Sea” on the front of their shitty tabloid. National Zero meanwhile will express condolences and not tempt the wrath of readers that surfaced over headlines such as “Property Brothers indicted on federal sex trafficking charges,” “French fighter jets bump into each other during maneuvers,” “British royal’s head injury consistent with impact from horse hoof,” and other questionable editorial decisions.
