Some of my favorite poorly written headlines:

"SUV Slams into Crowd. Kills 250." Ahhh, unless the SUV had some type of autopilot feature, it was actually the driver of the SUV who slammed into the crowd .....

Corrected Headline: Soccer Mom Stuffing Big Mac into Pie Hole, Talking on Cellphone and Steering With Knee Drives Her SUV into Crowd. Murders 250.

"Suicide Bomb Kills 500 in Bagdad". Bombs are incapable of thought and, therefore, probably aren't capable of deciding to commit suicide ......

Corrected Headline: Deranged Terrorist With Diaper Wrapped Around Head Uses Bomb to Murder 500 Innocent People in Bagdad.

"Guns Responsible for 10 Million Deaths Per Week" Ummm, guns are inanimate pieces of metal and are incapable of being responsible or not responsible. It was the finger on the trigger and the person attached to that finger that caused the deaths ......

Corrected Headline: Worthless Gang Members with Illegal Guns Kill 10 Million Other Worthless Gang Members With Poorer Shooting Skills.

By pounding this type of boob-bait into peoples minds day-after-day, the solution to our problems becomes quite elementary: ban SUV's, bombs and guns and everybody lives happily ever after.
