Not really site feedback - just found this hilarious. The latest headline posted on CF landing page was cut-off and definitely had a click-bait effect on me (Why the f' are they giving up?)
Hilarious cut-off on headline
- Thread starter synapticwave
- Start date
The funniest titles was back when @ChrisMWilliams labeled a column at the beginning of the CMC era something like “How Matt Campbell Sucked Me”. Anyone else remember that?
Friday confessions when it blended with yoga pants Thursday was good.
Oh that poor guy.
For the record, and there may be younger bucks who can correct me if I'm wrong, but traditionally the person who writes the article does not write the headline. They turn in their article and copy editors come up with the headline. So on all these headline fails it's kind of sad that everyone assumes it was the person on the byline, when it's really not.
Old but good...
"Manly Boy Marries Fertile Girl"
"Manly Boy Marries Fertile Girl"
Not sure if serious, but did you look at the red box in the upper right hand corner?

Remember when Jay Leno was doing the Tonight Show and he had a segment about actual real Goofy Headlines? It was good stuff
I remember he showed one from the Iowa State Daily way back......it was the weather forecast for the day that said "Sunny....but maybe not."
