The second-best headline of all time

[the_borderer]

Oh well, at least I still have the headline that I suggested earlier.

Funny, but it’s nowhere near the standards of “Headless Body inTopless Bar”. A good headline needs to tell a story-- a story that is continued in the article. This headline doesn’t actually elicit curiosity about the story, it elicits a titter, a titter that is contradicted by the story.

I am assuming, that the body was decapitated, and the bar was a strip club. If not, I’d probably consider it to be cheat as well.

Apparently, the story is real, and deserves its headline.

and the perennial favorite

IIRC, there’s a page for the Springfield Shopper. Ah, yes. several in fact (no surprise, there, really)

From the Armagh Gazette about a crappy government attempt to expand some rail service:

“Over £100m! Is this the rail price? Is this just fantasy? Caught up in land buys, No escape from bureaucracy!”

I remember that one! Made it pretty clear that the event had absolutely nothing to do with training a horse.

Really, you could just type any crazy shit in here and I’d probably like it, headline or not.
