Viacom Profits Reports Massive Third Quarter Profits

Viacom said it wouldn't see a big impact in the event of a Hollywood writers' strike, except for late-night spoof artists Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, whose shows would go to reruns.

I hate to be a stickler for well English, but shouldn't the headline read:

"Profitable Viacom Profits Report Profitable and Massively Profitable Third Profitable Quarter Profits."

Probably.

But that's just idle chatter.
Our system brings rewards to all,
At least to all that matter."
