The Headline That Wasn't - 05.07.2010

nypost-dow.jpg


For many years I've thought that coming up with headlines for the NY Post was one of the greatest jobs in the world. To be paid for puns is lovely. I haven't been paid for puns since I stopped working on billboard advertising. Most puns are godawful: Hail Caesar and five other new salads is a good example of a pun you should be put to the sword for.

Occasionally the Post comes up with something brilliant. And to be paid for puns that half the city gets to see. That'd be a sweet gig. Anyway, it occurred to me that I have Photoshop and know how to use it well enough that I too can come up with NY Post headlines whenever I want. Though the pay is crap and I don't have their circulation.

LOL They should outsource their headlines to you.
