Another great headline
Xinhua, the official Chinese news agency, is proving to be a gold mine for great headlines.
Here’s a story about the Philippine government negotiating with a Muslim separatist movement, whose name just so happens to form the acronym MILF.
Based on the headline, one can’t help but imagine government officials trying to negotiate with an attractive mother whose good looks have unleashed a religious uprising. Something tells me an American or Canadian editor might have caught the MILF thing and taken it out.
Here is another recent Xinhua headline that missed the mark somehow.
