Viacom Inc., a media conglomerate that owns MTV, Comedy Central and Paramount Pictures, reported an 80 percent jump in third-quarter earnings Friday on a strong showing from its summer movie "Transformers" and the sale of a music publishing business.
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.

At least to all that matter."
