Title: Stupid Headlines
Post by: Dragontao on November 03, 2012, 06:01:24 PM
Well it seems to me that BBC reporters (and those elsewhere) don't seem to think too much before writing their headlines.

Man found stabbed to death in petrol station stabbing (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-20190808 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-20190808))

A man stabbed to death in a stabbing, well I never. He wasn't going to be stabbed to death in a shooting was he!


As for this one:

Manhole explosion hurts woman in Shepherd's Bush http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-20191784 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-20191784)

Well it made me chuckle for obvious reasons. Good job it didn't happen somewhere called Little Beaver.
