NY Post‘s Take On Underwear Bomber: ‘Great Balls Of Fire’ (Update)
The NY Post has not been immune to the rocky year of print publishing. Despite rumors of slumping newsstand, a persistent ad recession, and a nasty harassment allegation, the Post still delivers on what it does best: evidenced in the front page headline on today’s paper that concerns the failed attack of Flight 253.
While nearly every other media outlet was dealing with the absurdity of an underwear bomber, the clever headline writers at the NY Post went for the joke and hit a home run. Kudos NY Post!
Update - It appears that Gawker Weekend Editor Foster Kamer made the same exact joke over the weekend! So, maybe the editors are smart and clever, or perhaps they just read Gawker over the weekend for ideas.
