I don't think the folks who write for the New York Post get their journalistic kudos for the wacky (and most likely alliterative) headlines they come up with on a daily basis.
And while I'm tooting my own horn, I've managed a couple that bordered on genius (or at least cringeworthy) efforts:
- Wie, Wie, Wie All the Way Home (about Michelle Wie)
- Vikes, Vikes Baby (about the Minnesota Vikings Love Boat sex scandal)
- TO, TO, It's Off the Team You Go (about Assbag Owens)
- Lesbian Cheerleader Bathroom Sex Catfight (about the Carolina Panthers)
Actually, I don't think that last one is that clever, but I think it's funny how it improves my search engine rankings from all the pervs looking for pix. Get over it, boys!
So it was with some delight that I read the St. Petersburg Times actually issued an apology to its readership for too many punning headlines. It's true.
For the record, here are the transgressions of the Times:
- Welcome back, clutter (about junk accumulating in our houses)
- Caws for celebration (about urban crows)
- Ex-es of evil (about politicians and their former wives)
Maybe I can start freelancing for those guys?
