English Translation of Main Headlines

Headline on pack: Damn it (™) Subline on pack: Effective against pain. 600 times a day Copy on pack: Boffins in the UK have discovered swearing is good against headaches. Research shows spewing profanities like a bordello queen has a pain relieving effect on the brain. In fact, turning the air blue helps relax and regenerate the old grey matter. Sadly, swearing pain away is not without its side effects. Effing and blinding is rather frowned upon and will make you a social outcast. So if you want to banish pain without being banished from coffee mornings, dinner parties and Bar Mitzvahs, we suggest something less provocative.
