apparently cnn isn't the only one bungling headlines.

recent catchy attention-getters include:

  • 'Baby Mama' delivers top spot at North American box office (afp)
  • 'Baby Mama' Hits Box-Office Mother Lode, Locking Up 'Harold & Kumar' In Second Place (mtv)
  • Bundle of cash birthed: "Baby Mama" tops box office (mlive.com)
  • Oh, Baby! Tina Fey Smokes Harold and Kumar (E!)
  • Women deliver 'Baby Mama' to top over 'Harold & Kumar' at box office (USA Today)
  • Baby Mama delivers a number one (sheknows.com)
  • A Healthy Arrival For Baby Mama (Empire Online UK)
  • 'Baby' steps to top of the box office (Variety)
  • Audiences adopt 'Baby Mama' as $17M box-office favorite (San Jose Mercury News)
  • 'Baby Mama' Brings Funny to Full Term (ABC News)
meanwhile, the best opening sentence? definitely the following, courtesy of canada's national post:
Baby Mama had a wonderful christening over the weekend but don’t expect much of a growth spurt in the coming weeks because Iron Man’s poised to dominate every thing in its path.
TWO puns in just ONE sentence? all writers should aspire to be so... ambitious.
