I was at the gym yesterday and something made me laugh pretty hard.  While do my workout, I looked up at one of the TV's.  It was on MSNBC and it's headline said..."Breaking News: California Burns."  

My first reaction was "what the hell?"  Who is filtering these headlines?  To the person who cannot hear the TV, or is at a distance where they cannot see the closed captioning, it appeared as if California burned off like a space fart and fell off of the continent.  In the process taking Arnold, San Francisco, and Jamba Juice.  

It's funny because people make a good living writing headlines.  How could this possibly make sense?  We pay people to write catchy slogans and headlines?  Doesn't that go against the "American Dream?"  Where you need to work hard for success and don't give up against all odds.  But yet, if you write a stupid headline like, "PHantastic!" when the Phillies won the world series, you win!  You just won the American dream!
