There are two reasons why people should keep buying newspapers: 1) Print journalism is still worth reading, and 2) You will eventually stumble upon a headline that makes you do a spit take. Like this one, from the Orlando Sentinel, that’s supposed to be about Jaguars linebacker Myles Jack:
Myles Jack’s last name makes for a wonderfully inappropriate newspaper headline
Print’s not dead; it’s just flaccid.
With a last name like Jack, this was bound to happen. I’m 99.9 percent sure writer Ryan O’Halloran did not choose that headline. But I also hope he did, because it’s hilarious and sorely needed. (I probably made this worse/better by using the word “sorely.”) It’s just as good as that time a newspaper called Pat Venditte “amphibious.”
If you’re interested in reading O’Halloran’s article on Myles Jack, it’s right here, with a headline that does not contain a masturbation reference.
