One Example of Headline Excellence
I've been a little tough on the writers of news headlines, so I'd like to acknowledge one that the pros got right: "Awkward moments abound in penis pump trial" It's not easy running a case like this, from the moment the bailiff says "Please rise."

It didn't make me read the story--I felt like I didn't need to, after the headline. Like, it could only be downhill after that. Ironic that you could make a headline TOO good! Tangentially, there is a UK sex products company that is sponsoring a clinical trial of pills that make semen taste like apple. I am crapping you negative. Quick--joke writer's quiz: what'd the headline oughta be on that one?
Ill let the professionals handle that one from Torrid, but when I was in high school, we had a Mayor Boner in Nashville. Most writers studiously avoided going after the obvious, but after the mayor went missing -- and the media had really had it with him -- he finally turned up in Disney World (can't remember why).
Headline: Boner Pops Up in Mickey Mouse Parade
One to remember, for sure.
