Der Kunst Der Headline II

Written by

For those of you not familiar with the game, here’s the deal. See, where I live we have two things: very arrogant horny politicians and a certain 25 cent newspaper founded by Alexander Hamilton that is famous for its obnoxious headlines (“Headless Body in a Topless Bar” being an unsurpassed classic of a genre). 

Whenever our politicians get caught – and they get caught with surprising regularity, I always try to guess what the headline in NYP is going to be the next day.

My last try I was way off target: thy went with boring “I Quit”. This time I’m banking on “Dirty Tricks Guv Caught With a Trick”. What do you think the headline is going to be?

In fact, I think Da Post Online should create a widget where you can try your hand in headline creation.
