My love of an excellent, self-contained headline is well-documented. One advantage of this is that sharp-eyed KPC readers send in examples.
This one...oh, man, this one is excellent:
"Watch woman yell 'bear don’t eat my kayak' as bear eats kayak"
It's all there: pathos, drama, action. Lovely.
Thanks to Rob Hallford, who offered this analysis: "My favorite part is when she screams that the kayak "doesn't even taste good." Like a) she's tried it and b) knows what tastes good to bears. In fact, seasoned with her tears, I bet it tasted pretty damn good. "
Keep 'em coming, folks.
Update: Loyal reader DD notes that the Gawker headline is also well done: "Bear Politely Ignores Woman Yelling at Him to Stop Eating Kayak."
