There was one on a sandwich board a couple of days ago from the Evening News (crappy Edinburgh local paper) that read "INSPECTORS SHOCK AT CHILDREN IN PRISONS". Which made me laugh as it gave the impression that the story was about an inspector being shocked at a perfectly common practice - kinda like Jew's shock as christian eats shelfish... :p
