A Spicy Robbery

My friend sent me a link to this article last night, explaining how glad she is we are Journalism majors and get to write stories like this one. The headline reads, "Officials: Burglar wakes men with spice rub, sausage whack." This story was posted last night on CNN.com.

This article is about two farmers who were robbed and then oddly enough, beaten with meat. The headline caught my attention because I couldn't believe what the headline was insinuating. If I were to change the headline, I might change it to, "Burglar beats with meat." I think the more absurd the headline for this story, the better.
