You Got BBC All on Ya Bedroom Walls

Every now and then, I see the most bizarre headlines on my homepage (news.bbc.co.uk). What makes  them funny is that this is supposed to be a legit news source, but everyone makes mistakes right? Right. Here are a couple of choice ones that have come my way:

Exhibit A: Hi! My Name Is...Who?
Maybe this is because it is British media but "Dog-Fighting NFL Man" sounds a bit... sophomoric to be published don't you think. 3x Pro Bowler might not mean anything to the BBC but "Michael Vick" is less characters to type. It almost sounds like a superhero with a power that no one else wants. Like Professor X was handing out powers and he was the last one to get picked so he had to pick dog-fighting. If only he cut in line in front of Gambit.


Exhibit B: Advice for the Ladies
Not much needs to be said here.

Speaking of news media, is anyone else tired of hearing about how Chief Justice Roberts and President Obama took a misstep on the swearing in? I mean CNN's Rick Sanchez brought in Carlos Mencia to discuss it, come on y0.
