USS Clueless - Suggestive headlines
     
     
 

Stardate 20020325.1633

(On Screen): I sometimes wonder whether headline writers deliberately make them suggestive sometimes. Yesterday in the press runup to the Academy Awards, I noticed a headline that said "Jennifer Connelly Profile", and I confess that it inspired carnal thoughts. I've lusted after her for a long time, and she does indeed have a most impressive profile, although the dress she wore last night did not exactly flatter it. Of course that was not what the article was about, and I didn't think it was, but I have to wonder if the headline writer was trying to get my attention.

And now I see this headline: "Playboy planning 'Women of Enron' spread" and I can almost hear Beavis and Butthead saying, "Heh-heh-heh, he said 'spread'." Only in this case the double entendre may be true.

Not that I intend to buy it to find out when it hits the stands; who the hell wants to look at a bunch of naked accountants?

Wait a minute: trophy secretaries at a decadent corporation? Well, maybe I'll just take a peek...
