Obama security agent 'found drunk'
The drunk, of course, didn't even know he was lost.
But the BBC did show some self-restraint. An actual headline: "Court suspends Turkish twitter ban"--personally, I don't think I could have resisted writing it as: "Turkish twitter ban ban"

Flats blown up for Games opener
Here's the thing: I thought this was just a badly-worded headline... but it's actually true! The Commonwealth Games opening ceremony will include a live broadcast of 5 tower blocks being demolished.
It doesn't get much better than that!

From the Daily Mail, not the BBC: In an article about a hacked wireless baby monitor camera, here's the text to one photo:
The couple believe the hacker was attempting to wake their daughter by screaming 'wake up baby' at her.
