Stupid News Headline Makes Me Laugh
September 25, 2012
Every so often, we run into funny news headlines simply because of the way they are worded. For example, I found this in the Critter News this morning. A Russian woman, who had, it seems, been drinking (too much) decided to go feed a polar bear some chicken legs she had left over and got attacked by the bear instead.
However, the headline read: “Polar bear attacks drunken lady with chicken legs in Russia“. I think it bad enough the woman made a very stupid and alcohol influenced decision to go feed a polar bear but to add insult to injury saying the woman had “chicken legs” isn’t fair…..or very professional.
