I was going to mention that, because I LOVE that headline and will never forget it. But since it's was, well, a special-occasion issue, I left it out.

what are you talking about, the examiner used to have crazy headlines about 5-6 years ago. Case in Point:

I live in the Outer Sunset. What is this "BART" thing of which you speak? Oh yeah, it's that distant subway I help subsidize every month when I purchase my Muni fastpass.

I'm writing in "Mr Richard Belding, High School Principal" for Mayor of SF on Nov 6. I'm not telling you how to vote- I'm just saying...

My favorite old style National Examiner headline: "I tore out his heart and stomped on it." [actual ancient headline]

No way. To be a true tabloid headline, it must use illiteration. For instance: TOPLESS TART TOPPLES TOP TORY, was my favorite from the Sun when some Conservative MP got caught shagging strippers,

I just wish they would've alerted the public before he released the sex tape.

Great. Now I have the theme song to "Saved By the Bell" stuck in my head.
