That's Just Plain Wrong!

Here's an actual headline that appeared today. (http://www.wsoctv.com/mlb/13222064/detail.html)

"Royals To Get A Taste Of Angels' Colon"

Wonder how that one slipped past the editors.

OMG!

Gotta love these editorial "slip-ups".

Headlines go south often. They are really restricted to spacial constraints. Plus not a lot of editors read them, because they concentrate on the content. Hopefully this is the gang having fun with it because it is appropriate and very funny.

?? Don't know with what kind of editors you have been working, but that's not true with all the people I've worked with. The headline is arguably the most important piece of the article (at first glance).

exactly. This is on purpose.

I work with top notch folks. We feel that too much pressure is put on the headline.

Hmm, we could debate the importance of headlines, but I was just trying to let people know not all editors don't read them before print. That's all.
