“Butts arrested in Boob murder case” is the oddest news headline ever

Chris Spags Founder and Editor

I’ve seen a lot of “wacky” news headlines in my years doing this. But I can’t think of anything that can top this headline on what should be a sad story about a murder. A CBS affiliate in Altoona, PA has posted this story about the wrapping up of a murder case and I think it’s safe to say this is the headline of the year.

We thought this was a practical joke at first. But no, it’s not.

That said, it’s not exactly a fun story for this silly headline. I’m just glad Andy Dick didn’t show up with a bag full of cocaine. The family’s been through enough shame via catchy headline.
