    Reminds me of one of my favorite jokes ever: Did you hear Oprah got arrested at the airport? They lifted up her dress and found 50 pounds of crack.

    It's a TV station's website, of course it's intentional.

    So you're telling me is a version of that headline was in a paper, you'd skip over it?
    The point of headlines is to tell what the story is about and that includes selling the story. Just because it's immature doesn't mean it's bad.
    And trust me - you'd hire me.

    This is an image I really didn't need inside my head. And I will be repeating this joke to everybody I know.

    Let's not forget this is a broadcast company's website. This was almost unquestionably intentional and drove up hits like crazy. It was also unprofessional. Us (I include myself in this group) uppity newspaper-types wouldn't stand for it.
