    Internet Broadcasting has little to no standards when it comes to stories it puts on newspaper station websites.

    That's absolutely fine, because that means I could hire the guy! That hede is totally awesome. I would frame it and post a tally of the complaints I receive next to it. (I once got a nasty phone call from a woman who took exception to the word phallic in a hede about Prince's guitar at the Super Bowl)

    So that's your standard for a good hed, how many people it pisses off?

    A good hede need not piss a ton of people off, I just know some people in my town have complained for less overt references.
