Oh the Humanity! in 25 words or more

September 21st, 2009 by Ian

This is one of the finest headlines I’ve ever seen crafted by the wordsmiths at the Mail. I think they’ve channeled a certain similarly perceptive master of language in writing this. Does anyone remember this classic line from Alan Partridge?  More of this please. I don’t want to read an article. If you can’t consolidate a complete ‘story’ in the headline, then don’t bother.

Via the ever brilliant @bengoldacre – an essential follow.
