Sensational!

A highlight of my daily internet routine is the CNN headlines. They always have one or two that are designed to suck you in by sheer absurdity, and I fall for it more than I care to admit.

I dare you to browse these recent examples without clicking on at least one:

Porn broadcast stuns news viewers
Hundreds of body parts recalled
Aztecs butchered, ate Spanish invaders
Woman admits stealing $2.3M to play lottery
Megadeth angry at United Nations
Comic sues Jews for Jesus

    That’s so hilarious! I do the same thing and when I saw the Aztecs headline, I was talking to Aaron all about it in the office because I thought it was so bizarre. And then basically read him the article because I’m a dork :-)
