Jay Leno has a segment on the Tonight Show called Headlines. Some of them are hilarious. I love the ones that he shows that have misspellings which, at times, can be really really funny!

I used to write headlines for the school newspaper.

A few things that you have to keep in mind to WRITE a good headline.

Space, type and story.

You have to know what the story is about, what the size of the type used in the headline and how much space that allows you.

Here's one from the recent NIU cmpus shootings.


CAMPUS KILLER POLITE.

Ha ha some of those are pretty funny. Maybe the writers are bored or just being ironic?

Yeah, the ones I posted about are just plain obvious- not even funny. It's like making a headline for "snow is cold." Well, yeah - by definition ... and it isn;t like it is a slow news period!
