I LOL'd at this headline

Interesting headline:

 

Tired Gay succumbs to Dix in 200 meters

 

Just saying... why would editors let that headline run?

Are you the guy that left a comment on that site saying they would have been better off making a racist joke than a gay one?

Nah, I just saw it and thought, how stupid can editors be?

My favorite comment:

“I was a little sloppy out of the blocks, but I was able to hold on.”

Someone was having fun this weekend.

Seems like a smart headline to me, the only people they offended are the track stars themselves, and it's enough to catch the attentions of people who don't give a shit about track events. Like basically... everyone. They basically tricked tons of people into clicking on it, sm-ooo-art.

Offending track stars is really fun. They're famous athletes, but unless they throw Shot Put/Discus/Hammer/Javelin, they're usually too lithe and nimble to actually do any damage to you. They're so super-charged for running, or running and jumping, or the ever popular "running with a big pole to help you jump," that they've got like no body fat, and tip over in a stiff breeze. It's like poking a really angry cat that's been declawed, it's mad but it really can't do much more than scratch up your arm.

I found it amusing. They seem to have fun with his name often.
