"Recycle or go to hell"!

I love it! Some headlines are awful....and then there are some that are so awful, they're good. This one is a real keeper.

What an absolutely priceless example of the dumbed down, "crap for the masses" philosophy of the British press. The Brits have turned the journalistic art of headline writing into a pantomime. A burlesque exhibition of double entendres, puns and hyperbole.

And this is in the Telegraph which has always been the most sensible of the British dailies, in my opinion.

Of course I am laughing at the media.

Aren’t you?

Their desperation makes them so absurd it amuses me.
