I've noticed lately that the BBC has been making attempts to, for lack of a better word, add a bit of "zing" in its reportage. For me, since I check the Beeb out mostly online, this is most obvious in the headlines fed to my Firefox news bookmark tab. Some of the headlines have been rather mysterious and/or obscure, but this one ranks alongside the New York Post's "Headless Man in Topless Bar" for nerve. (And, no, it ain't a cross-feed from the Onion, whose staff probably feel outdone on this one.)
