Tops Headless Body in Topless Bar
Imagine New Yorkers disappointment two weeks ago when Osama bin Laden was finally captured and killed. The city that waited nearly 10 years for justice to be done awoke on Monday morning, May 2, to the tepid New York Post headline “Got ‘Em!” What!? No “Headless Body Found in Topless Bar” style blast that would keep people talking for decades to come (and possibly breathe much needed life back into the newspaper business).
Let’s face it, we read headlines all day long online – all kinds of crazy things – but nothing sizzles and pops like a juicy (and occasional laughable) tabloid headline. This morning, New Yorkers and (by virtue of the Interwebs) the rest of us got our fix. Apparently, Osama bin Laden’s condo was laden with porn DVDs. We’ll let Mediaite tell you the rest. (Click here)
Hat tip to Mediaite for the story and the photo. Other notes: Yes, we know the “Headless Body found in Topless Bar” headline was in the New York Daily News, not the Post. We grew up in the New York Metro area – and can prove it. How? Well, what other baseball team goes by the nickname the “Amazin’s” other than our beloved New York Mets!
