Today, the same CBC headline writers who brought us the delightfully ambiguous "Marrying gays optional for commissioners," the tongue-twisting brilliance of "Klein's clean coal claims questioned," and the barely-parseable "Visa delays plague games for gays" are making sure those darned homeless don't end up with any advantages:
Advocates worry about bias towards homeless

Hi IP,
Back in undergrad when I worked for the student paper, I remember the editors trying to come up with some of the craZiest headlines. I'm not sure if it was for the love of double meanings and irony or simply because they thought it made people want to read the article. Regardless, they are funny.
cdntarheel,
You know, that could very well explain it! I certainly haven't seen these kinds of headlines anywhere but the CBC. Maybe they have some young turks there who are snickering behind the scenes...
It appears they've altered the headline in the article proper.
phugebrins,
You know, that's almost a shame.
