I searched this and it turned up empty - hope I didn't miss it. Clickerson (and from there the directly linked Top 11 newspaper corrections). In any case - I was sitting alone, leeching Internet in MacDonalds when I read this and got a few looks while trying to duck into my laptop to snicker :D On a serious note - while the headlines in the link are pretty brilliant, the subject matter that follows is pretty darn universal and I'd have to say the same (dis)parity between lack content and really unfortunate wording seems to haunt journalists pretty much everywhere (a few years back I was in China before the Tibet situation worsened (eg became more public) and one of the headlines there read: "Should Tibet be free". One can only imagine how many people were never again seen after that. On a somewhat less related note: I'm currently in Spain for a prolonged period of time and one thing I've noticed that is quite different from what I've seen in most countries I've visited (much of Europe and some Asia) - regardless of what the news stories are like here (I can't really understand what they say on the news here), the cinematographic quality that journalists put into pictures and video is well beyond most of the countries I've seen. I wish that kind of an attitude was more universal - perhaps less politics-oriented people (such as myself) would find it more appealing to watch news and read dailies.
Haha wow. Spent about an hour reading that website, thanks for posting it up here.

All my work collegues know I'm slacking because I'm crying with laughter. XML isn't THAT funny!
It's funny that they mention channeling Jay Leno in the article, because this is exactly the kind of stuff he posts.

Great find!
