Offensive article on sex offender

Did anyone else read the article in the World Herald "By any other name, he's still a sex offender"? Was I the only one who thought it was written a little inappropriately? The connection between the name change and the sexual offense seemed iffy, not to mention not front page worthy. Furthermore, it was written from a perspective that seemed to poke fun at Wiccanism — not politically correct.
It seems it would have been better placed in Opinion.
Agree?

    YES!! I AGREE!!
    I think they should have focused the article more on Wiccanism. It was really just them using the Wiccan to reiterate his criminal record. I really wonder if he gave consent to have this article published you know? Don't they need his consent to do that? Plus, front page news? No!
    If it would have been written better, then maybe. But as it is. . . no!
