The Toronto Sun's 9/11 Bastards! front page from Sept. 12, 2001, topped our recent TSF poll with 50% of the votes.
The wrap-around front and back 9/11 photos topped a variety of other front pages in the Sun's 36 years.
If anyone has the name of the editor responsible for the 9/11 makeup, we'd be happy to ask him or her to take a bow.
Second among the 11 choices was "other," with 17% of the votes, which makes us wonder what fronts those voters had in mind.
A TSF reader e-mailed to say his "other" vote was for the controversial January 2002 Dave Lucas photo of Toronto Mayor Mel Lastman shaking hands with Tony Biancafiore, a Hells Angels biker gang member. Yes, indeed. That was an attention-grabbing front page.
Another TSF reader posted this comment: "Another gem, after Toronto police rousted squatters from a makeshift waterfront shantytown:
