From The Files Of... The Day Headline Writing Died

So, headline writers - you've got a press release in your sweaty palms proclaiming that the new title for Marc Webb's hitherto untitled Spider-Man reboot is going to be The Amazing Spider-Man. Come up with your best, most original, most attention grabbing, strap-line. One, two, three.... Go!

    What's the betting "Spider-man Gets Amazing Title" was the title of the press release.

    Uni - Box Office Mojo's posts will still make you weep... this'll just do it a little bit more. It does not deserve the title of 'pun'!

    Desert - they've got to you already! Seek help!

    Nicholas - thank you kindly, Sir!

    Aiden - If they continue to bowl underarm, I will continue to hammer them!

    Dan - that didn't cross my mind until I saw your comment but I suspect you are 100% right. I really hope you are in fact - would make it even lazier journalism!

    They all looked good to me...

    Wow, I just googled that headline and there's like, a hundred other sites that used it.

    I wonder who was the first...

    I suspect, as Dan says, the credit for who was first must go down to the guy who wrote the press release. I Googled it myself for this and could have used many more examples. It's shocking how many people have picked it up.
