I do wish headline writers would think before publishing.
Yesterday I spotted this one: "Man shot dead by police 'unhappy'."
I dare say he was - you would be too if you'd been shot dead. It's only after reading the story that you become aware of the what the headline writer meant.

Yes, I sometimes think daft headline spotting should be a recognised bobby rather like train spotting
Sadly, Alan, I don't recognize any bobbies and they seem to get younger all the time.
My suggestion for a name for a collector of silly headlines is: a cutoffbyfoggist
Yes, but headlines like this can make you giggle all day. Wonderful.
Sx
I think I'm more content *not* reading the meaning....:)
do people still read the media with its biased and deranged views....
I though we got our wisdom from Chairman Bill !
After reading the article, I think the headline should have been "Man shot dead by police 'happy'," but that wouldn't be half as funny. Poor guy - I guess he got what he wanted.
Alan: Bobby?
Kabbalah: Good one!
Scarlet: Just make sure you don't jiggle while you giggle.
Braja: Reverse spin?
Phil: If only, if only.
Kabbalah (again): Well, it wasn't happiness.
Yesterday I heard my husband say "Well, no shit!" Apparently he was watching a show where they were demonstrating deadly weapons and a guy said "We can't use these on live people for the purpose of demonstration"
After reading the article " off his trolly" may have been a better discription. Poor Fella.
I must say to Kat we use the phrase " no shit Sherlock " for moments like like that.
