Speaking of the Local10.com Odd File, a story about kids and constipation appeared on their news site on Thanksgiving. Never in a million years did I expect to see this kind of quirky article posted on a local news site. Maybe a better niche is located between the online pages of a parenting or health magazine?
Though the article offers useful tips for parents to treat this painful problem, thanks to insight provided by local doctors and the Nationwide Children's Hospital, the intent is completely overshadowed by the ridiculously prominent pic of toilet paper appearing to the right of the story-just above additonal medical information. Kind of inappropriate, and kind of upping the gross out factor. I realize that everything has its place in the online news world, but I'm failing to grasp the relevance of this article when it is clearly presented as a joke piece.
