Headline writers have a hard job. They have to convey lots of meaning in limited space, make it accurate, clever and maybe even fun.
When it works, it's magic.
When it doesn't... well, either Jay Leno makes fun of their work on a segment of The Tonight Show, or they get put on a tile like these in the bathrooms of the new Newseum in Washington, D.C.
I felt bad for the folks behind these blunders, but still, I couldn't help but find some of them entertaining. Does that make me a bad journalist? (please say no)
