Torn from yesterday's headlines...

"German Freezer Baby Mother Guilty"

First of all, I think that they could have afforded a few prepositions and perhaps a verb to make that actually work as a coherent phrase. Second, that's just not an image that I want in my mind at 7AM. I mean, it's an isolated incident, they caught her, case closed. Had there been a rash of baby freezer mother incidents, perhaps that would qualify as breaking through the filter to join the ranks of news items dealing with global recession, major political restructuring, genocide, anything to do with Michael Jackson, and skateboarding guinea pigs.

I'm sure that I'm leaving a few things out.

  2. Yes! And also, in that same article, two guys pulled guns and shot each other because their girlfriends were arguing. Let's see...
    "Catfight Duo Wal*Mart Gun Battle"

    Or "Springer Wept".
