Sorry for posting this, but CNN's title was just too darn funny not to share...

Indeed. No matter how you parse it, it's funny. And with a little punctuation, it's funnier still.

Ugandan testicle attack wife held (Is the attack wife a testicle? Or is the attack wife trained to go for the testicles? Where does one obtain an attack wife?)

Ugandan, testicle attack wife, held

Ugandan testicle attack(s) wife, held

Ugandan testicle attack, wife held (Visual of wife attacking husband with testicles -- whose?)

Obviously the headline means to indicate that there are two (unrelated?) things being held here:

Ugandan testicle, attack wife held

Like you, I'm not sure where one goes to obtain or train an attack wife. And I'm not sure why the first "holding" is newsworthy...

Precisely-Imagine just how long they waited---feverishly pondering,just "HOW are we going to post this story w/out offending anybody"?There is no other reason for such a title.I expect nothing less from that site.Though I do browse/read their transcripts,as I refuse to watch CNN.
