Really Georgia... really??!?!? First you steal our peaches
but now our perverts too?
All joking aside, this is a great example of a newspaper
headline that I don't think is very effective. First off, it has sexual innuendo...
for boner, whilst talking about sex offenders. It’s funny for something like
the tabloids but it’s totally offensive, which takes away from the fact, that
it is stating a fact. This will turn the reader away with a bad taste in their
mouth and a bad image of your paper. I will admit that it has a wow factor that
may draw some attention, but I don't think a local newspaper wants that kind of
attention. I would have went with something along the lines of 'Sex Offenders
Resort to Woods for Residence.' in the News classification of headlines
(because it’s informative and factual) or 'There are Sex Offender Bears in Them
Woods' (because it’s Georgia and acceptably provocative) if you're still trying
to be somewhat crude.
