Stupidest Headline of the Week

I'm not the best at making headlines, literally or figuratively, but there are some just stupid headlines out there.

For example, my boyfriend sent me the following link as a perfect example of a Headline that sensationalizes everything, yet nothing at all.

This weeks winner, in fact the first winner ever, comes from the Daily Mail Online - which typically has great articles and headlines - just made me scratch my head.

Fifteen students left with permanent scars after branding each other with heated coathangers

It's not so much even that it's a long headline, but it also tells you exactly what happened without having to read the story.

My question though is, what did they think was going to happen.....non-permanent scars?  I mean when you take the plunge into branding, you sorta have to know what's gonna happen.
