When people put up links on a public news website, they should think a little bit about what wording they choose to use. I was checking out CNN.com today and saw an article link with wording that seemed a bit unusual:
“Pit bulls kill cancer boy’s miniature horse” … (see image below)
Cancer Boy … sounds like some kind of odd superhero name, but the whole link title is just plain unusual.
After the link was clicked, it brought you to an article with a slightly more appropriate title: “Pit Bulls Kill Miniature Horse Donated To Cancer-Stricken Child”

If you’ve ever seen the movie “Thank You For Smoking” this headline is dubly hilarious. I won’t ruin the movie by telling you it, but a minor character is referred to as “Cancer Boy”.
