So for anyone who reads CNN it won’t come as any surprise that they are the masters of running really stupid headlines.
Sometimes they don’t make sense, sometimes they are wholly misleading, and other times they are laughably obvious.
This morning, I’d like to share some headlines that are on the front page at this very moment to illustrate this point.
China denies hacking into Pentagon
Shocking. I really thought China would just own up to that one.
Men want hot women, study confirms
Surely there are better things to focus our collective scientific eye on than this. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that guys want hotties (my site statistics prove it — hot girls = jump in visits).
What’s worse is that if you read the article you’ll find that said study consisted of a whopping 46 people. Really? I could have that study done by the end of the day using coworkers alone.
‘I was always a pretty bad celebrity’
What kind of headline is this?! I feel like CNN is trying to set me up here. Besides, what celebrity isn’t a pretty bad celebrity?
Scientists working on faster wireless
Huh. I really thought we were done with that. Who needs faster? I’m still miffed that we’re moving faster than 14.4Kbps myself.
>China denies hacking into Pentagon
Has anyone seen Matthew Broderick lately?
>I was always a pretty bad celebrity
I didn’t know Bruce Hornsby was a celebrity.
