How not to write a headline 12

As for the Civil War planes, it may work out after all.
It depends on which country's civil war the article was about.

Maybe they were referring to the Conferderate Air Force?

A little disclaimer because some of you may not see it the same way. I use Firefox, and one of the RSS on my google homepage is CNN - US.
The headline on the RSS reader:

[blue]Bush lands in Texas; Residents urged to leave[/blue]

Actual article (although title isn't much better there):

THIS has got to be one of the best yet, I think. No, it isn't a news headline, it's a product listing for a new remote control.

Check it out:

Under "Features":

The Air Music Remote enables you to navigate, play media, and take complete control of your digital music library from the comfort of your couch using RF technology without line-of-sight limitations and [HIGHLIGHT]a range of up to 30 mm.[/HIGHLIGHT]

Wow! You mean I can FINALLY sit up to 1 FOOT away from my t.v. and control EVERYTHING?! WOW! Simply WOW!

Still laughing over this one. This manufacturer's keyboards, mouses, and remotes are supposedly some of the best around if you read the reviews.

I happen to know that is supposed to say 30 METERS, not MILImeters, as I've looked at those remotes recently - the model just before this new one.

Even better than 1 foot - 30mm is about 1.25 inch!

So I guess you hit the buttons on the TV with the remote, right?

But from that close, you'll ruin your eyesight... ;-)

OOPS!!!!


Yeah, that IS hilarious!!!

And boy, did I goof up. I missed the 0 in the MS Calculator Plus App. It's a pretty handy little calculator for calculating conversions between all sorts of measurements.

Here's one the writer had too much fun with: Homeless homing pigeon creates flap.

Here's a quote from the article:

Don and Fran Roy of Manchester have traced the bird — which they have named "Trouble" to a Pennsylvania man who races pigeons. . . . The Roys told the New Hampshire Union Leader they have contacted animal shelters, people who rehabilitate injured wild animals and even run an ad, but no one wants Trouble.

Odd, I always seemed to have the problem of Trouble finding me ...

Just saw this headline on my ISP's homepage:

Cubs' Soto scratched with sore hand

9/19/2008 1:04:00 PM
CHICAGO - All-Star catcher Geovany Soto has been scratched from the Cubs' lineup against the St. Louis Cardinals because of a sore left hand and is day to day.

Yeah, if I had to scratch something, it would be with my good hand .

I worked at a wholesalers years ago and we sold some children's Musical Mobiles with a Revolving Display.
They came in a nice box with very clear writing

Found a new one. This isn't a badly worded headline, as it is just a couple of headlines side by side in badly chosen locations.

See images below, or click on link (just don't know if it will be the same by the time you click the link:
