Still on (dubious) headlines...

Did Google block an anti-Islamic film that originated from Singapore? Of course not! A bad headline...


I wonder why they have to hide him in books after they nabbed him


Ditto for this one. Why would he pose as a "property agent in trouble"?


I'm trying to figure this one out. Maybe the parents were sitting on a tree branch...


The rest of us can relax; these bugs only bite chefs!


That's the funny thing about English...
There's no ambiguity about a "toy event". But is a "comic event" about the funny people or about the comic books? Better to use "toy and comics event" here.


I've pointed this out before...
"Fresh graduates" will become "stale graduates", so use "new graduates".


Ambiguity here... "plug" can also mean "to stem, to curtail".


Of course there's a dip in crime! The nightclub bouncers have been (safely?) clubbing the bad guys...


What is a "female slam dunk"? And why was she shot?


Putin has been doing photo-op stunts of late. This one's a real blast!

OK, I'm done with dubious headlines for now. To wrap up, I'll like to put here this very good ST Punchlines cartoon:
