Irish Daily Star headline
It might have a rude word in the headline, but at least it's about real news, not reality TV.
They don't mince their words in Ireland

To be fair, the Irish have been particularly screwed over by their government.
For one thing, they joined the Euro which meant they lost control of their interest rates thus fueling a property and investment boom; it also hampers their efforts to make repayments (can't devalue).
Worst of all the Irish government didn't just save the savings / currents accounts of the average Joe Soap but actually nationalised bank bonds.
Hence their debts are about three times more serious than ours.
