I’ve always had a fondness for the completely tasteless headline after a piece of rebar came off a truck in Toronto, and fell backwords into a bus, impaling two people. While most of the newspapers tried to deal with it responsibly, Murdoch’s Toronto Sun bore the memorable headline: BUS-KEBAB.

I call them hysterical little quips. Now concentrate on something useful like getting yourself laid more often.
