Most Unfortunate Headline Ever? (PHOTO)

We've come across our fair share of headline Fails over the years, but this one has to be one of the most unfortunate ones we've ever seen.

Redditer Eranmane spotted this poorly (or is it brilliantly?) composed headline that suggests today's Bishops have some, err, interesting views on sex abuse.

We're thinking the addition of the word "on" could have saved everyone a lot of confusion. Click here for more ridiculous headline fails from around the web.

I've got a picture of the front page of The Compass, the Official Newspaper of the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay, Wisconsin that is funnier! The lead story headline says, "Vatican Revises Sex Abuse Norms."

So I guess Photoshop rides again. Must have been tough to blot out the word 'to' on that one.

That wouldn't change the meaing exactly.

Bishops agree to sex abuse rules -vs- Bishops agree sex abuse rules

Much like; "I helped my uncle, Jack, off a horse" changes significantly when you take out that comma.

If it weren't so tragic it would be funny.

These people are opposed to same sex relations, and premarital sex. Then some 9 year old altar boy comes limping out of a rectory with tears down his cheeks. Sure. Don't pick on the hypocrites.

I don't get it. I thought we all knew they felt that way.

I'd call it THE MOST ACCURATE headline actually.

There was a similar one after Hurricane Katrina. George W. Bush appeared on TV talking about the hurricane. The caption at the bottom said "GEORGE W. BUSH: ONE OF WORST DISASTERS EVER TO HIT AMERICA".

Actually, there's a website detailing what Obama HAS accomplished.

Hysterical!...as in the older, more formal meaning of the word.

An honest statement from the Cults of Jesus Inc.  Who would've ever thought it possible?

Met any fun talking snakes lately?

How's that "personal relationship" with the magic friend in the sky working out for you?

Whipping? But only within the rules, padre....

I think they are attacking child rapers and those who cover it up.

Stonewiki - best response ever.

Patches - "Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD" Psalms 123
How is it that you still do not understand that the Christians are NOT a whipping boy. They are the dominant culture. Let us not forget that organized Christianity is not a victim. That has been something indoctrinated into you. The victims, the "whipping boys" ironically are thousands of little boys across several countries that are molested by your clergymen. What's worse is that the "whipping boy" organization then ignores the cries from the family and moves them to another parrish to be with other vulnerable children.

Everybody likes to point fingers, because when you point fingers nobody is looking at you. In this case, you are so quick to attack Islam, yet cannot see the tragedy taking place under your nose. Although hypocrisy seems to have worked out well for Christianity for some time. I don't think Jesus would have allowed pedophiles to be shuffled around so they could molest more children, do you?

Huffington Post's "best ever" gambits are getting lamer and lamer. I especially love them calling out someone else's "headline fail" when their own headlines are so off the mark. How about a current one, "Best Reporter Freak Out Ever?", which, when you get to the story, is actually titled "Which Reporter Freak Out Parody Ever?"

Headline FAIL!
