Headline Humor

This headline is funny on so many levels...

Misys gives Pecker head job

Heck, they even had fun with the sub-title line:

Rudi Pecker assumes position in top slot in Asia.

So.. how long before they get told to fix it?

Ah, I love unfortunate phrasing like that. Here is another common one.

The UK press also love the word "probe", and there often are unfortunate headlines which provide amusement to those with a warped mind. Here is a mild example.

The UK press also love the word "probe"

You mean something like:

'Police officers probe Leeds girls snatch'

Admittedly that's out of Phoenix Nights but it's still funny....

They even managed to get a few good ones in the body of the article.

"...will enable him to rise to the challenges..."
"...a region fertile for expansion..."

I must have a sick mind.

Stephen Fry remains the all-time winner IMO for, as a cub reporter, reporting on a fire at a stately home with the headline "Earl's Seat Burns Down" and subhead "Stately Pile Destroyed".
