Seriously?

This is a headline from the Minneapolis Star Tribune from last week.

Teeny Tenney says ta-ta; residents vote 2-1 to dissolve town

When did the Strib become a cartoon newspaper?

Pbbbbbbbbbrrrrrtttt...

We give this laurel and hardy handshake to the Durango Herald for their headline: House passes gas and water measure.

Is the Detroit Mayor a Vampire?

This is the headline:

Detroit mayor wants fresh blood in top schools post

Sounds like it to me.

It might be synergy.

Sometimes news stories coalesce into one meta-story that becomes perfect for this site.

1. A story about iguanas
2. A story that has a good name for a rock band in the title
3. Robots or ninjas or cyborgs...

Well, 2 out of three isn't bad.  Ladies and gentlemen I give you Alleged Iguana Meat.

Did you hear?

Did you hear the Justin Bieber got a hair cut?  Sadly -- so have I.  What is up with the media anyway?

Does this headline make sense to you?

U.S. Bank in St. Paul bank is robbed

The above headline appeared in the online version of the Star Tribune  (Because of stupid policies, that link will probably be broken soon. )  Anyway, it is obviously a story about a U.S. Bank in Saint Paul being robbed.   There seems to be an extra bank in there.  The headline should read either

U.S. Bank in St. Paul is robbed

or

St. Paul bank is robbed.

The original simply does not make any sense.  Do they not employ any copy editors?  Hasn't anyone else but me noticed this?  (I will rant about the Strib's vanishing articles later...)
