Just a small trivial point btw: all the headlines are either exact or slightly changed versions of headlines I found on the Internet or in women's magazines.
The "My Husband And I Were Gay - Until We Went To Straight School" cover is verbatim, which appalled me no end.
The worst ones were from women's magazines. I looked through most of my men's magazines (FHM etc) but found nothing even close than 'My Sister Was Murdered For Her Unborn Baby'.
Just in case people were wondering.

The most disturbing headline (and saddest story) I've seen lately was over on Ananova: "Hedgehog gets penis jammed in fence"...

That's very very nasty. *shudder*
Poor thing.
Not knowing anything much about hedgehogs... do they have poor eyesight? It's an erm... interesting case of mistaken identity.
