Biggest headline fails?

Yea, they do a terrible job and had no consistency with their output times. Sometimes we'd get callback within 5 minutes when we send all of our pages within 10 minutes, other nights we'd have a great send rate and callback would take 1.5 hours. I decided to not do the the tour of the press this fall because knowing me and what a sarcastic arse I can be sometimes, I figured I'd make some smartelic comment and make them dislike our paper on Sundays even more.

"Miami Dolphins will explore Jeremy Shockey"

 

I remember one of our designers accidentally wrote "Youth Against Christ" for a Youth for Christ brief. We never heard one complaint about it, amazingly.

 

Oh, that's pretty much as bad as it gets.

 

Especially the way the second line dropped into the body of the story.

 

That's fantastic.

 

That's way too successful as a headline to be a headline fail.
