Today I saw this headline on CNN.com
"Obama Makes History With Election Win"
Perhaps technically valid but pretty misleading in terms of what information it should be providing.
Any other classic incorrect/misleading/comedic headlines you've seen?

My favorite is in Icelandic; "¦yrla s=tti Eista uppß j÷kul"
For those unlucky few that don't understand that,it translates "Helicopter fetches a testicle on the glazier".
Article is about a rescue copter fetching a guy from Estonia [Eista]. In Icelandic Eista means both Estonian and testicle.
Kinda hard to translate
Not so hard! Air gets in between. |

Well this is dissapointing. I hopped in here hoping to see Jay Leno type news articles and all I get is political crap that's gonna turn into an america bashing thread.
Atleast the 2nd poster was funny.

That's sort of what I was hoping for too, my example was just what made me think of starting the thread.

The most famous silly (but actual) UK headline has got to be "Freddie Starr At My Hamster"

The best headline ever followed Caledonian Thistle's shock win against Celtic:
Super Callie Go Ballistic, Celtic are Atrocious
Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.

From the Politico:
Bob Dole Unloads on Scott McClellan
Considering Dole's history with E.D., that's an interesting title.

Not even close, the tabloids here have a few select words they have to use to make a full headline, those are 'death', 'sex', 'attack', 'rages' and possibly some words in between to make it make some sense but Death Sex Attack Rages is a fully plausible headline in these sad days of time.
I'm with Bill Hicks on media and marketing.
