Headlines

I love slow news days. I really do. Because what happens on slow news days is obscure, strange headlines pop up on main news sites without me having to dig for em. Right now, the headlines on CNN.com provide a wide overview of the several categories of headlines one might see on such a day. The following are actual headlines

There's the 'that's just wrong' headline - "Man, 47, marries girl, 8"
Then the 'I'm not even sure what that means...' headline - "Facebook flashbomb shuts down station"
The 'that had to hurt...' headline - "Teen's joy ride costs him an arm"
And the "I wish it was news when I did this' headline - "Ticker: Obama bumps his head"
Don't forget the 'terrible pun' headline - "Ringtones speak volumes about users"
The partial headline - "Madoff and SEC agree on partial..."
The 'that's too bad, but i don't really care' headline - "In rural Alaska, families struggle to survive"
And last, but not least, the 'YES! There's a video for this!' headline - "Porn star recruited to run for Senate"

I do love the news...
