Today, my local excuse for a "professional" newspaper printed this headline:
Man found dead in cemetery :confused:
My question is.... Duh? :rolleyes:
Must be from the Columbia School of "Journalisim". :headbang:

Here's a wild shot in the dark? Maybe it was a recently alive person found dead in the cemetary, not one of the buried corpses. Maybe he had a knife sticking out of his back. Maybe he owed me $50.
I deny everything.

Um, yes. The point is rather than writing a sensible, unambiguous headline like:
"Body of gunshot victim found near cemetery entrance" (as was the case),
they chose to run somthing short and ambiguous that sounds really stupid.
