I scanned it like 10 times trying to see if Polar bears had somehow wandered to Atlanta or where it said what the hell a Snow Bear was.
No no no, it’s saying that the rare snow bears (polka dotted polar bears) don’t like the deep south very much.
If it had said “in” instead of “on”, it might have given me pause.
On Feb 4th I was brought up short by a Washington Post headline. I showed my wife:
Problems Dog AIDS Program Founder
It turns out it meant “Founder of AIDS Program Troubled” but, since at first glance I took “Dog” as a noun, I was momentarily baffled. The fact that “Founder” cn be a verb didn’t help. I first thought the headline meant “Problem Dog / AIDS Program Collapses” and couldn’t figure out the connection.
Clearly they forgot to include a comma. The headline should have read “Problems Dog, AIDS Program Founder,” meaning that both the “Problems Dog” (presumably something like a therapy dog, but for people with “problems”) AND the AIDS Program are foundering.
Back in the day, I once spent a few minutes trying to figure out why the State of California had named a highway after Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin.
I love bad headlines! My sister was written about in her small town newspaper for getting a scholarship. It was for her work with Gay and Lesbian rights and was a public service scholarship. Well, the headline read: “Girl Gets $5000 for Touching Gays.” It was supposed to read “Gays’ Lives” but the editor cut it, not realizing what he made.
My sister touches gays and gets paid for it.
Or alternatively, that Problems both hinder and help a program founder.
Two famous ones from WWII:
Eighth Army Push Bottles Up Germans
MacArthur Flies Back to Front
I wish I have saved it but the Concord, NH newspaper once had a headline that read “Couch Fire Leaves Man Homeless”. If you thought you were down on your luck before then lookout.
Current CNN headline: Live Grenade Found at Fort Hood.
Well, yeah. It’s a major military base supporting deployment of troops in wartime.
That reminds me of when Aldrich Ames was arrested. The headline was “Sources say there may be spies in the CIA”. Really? You think?
My favorite that I can recall at least.
Prostitutes appeal to the Pope.
It isn’t an all time classic example but CNN has one up now for a current situation. A pilot flew his small plane into an IRS building today killing himself and setting the building on fire.
The headline reads:
Texas crash pilot’s apparent suicide note rails against IRS
You can parse that one a number of different ways. I am not sure what else you would expect from a certified crash pilot. He was doing just doing his job. It also implies that the shady note itself became evil in its own right or that there was a train company involved somehow. More at 10.
I thought we had an oversupply of liberal arts majors in this country.
Obligatory link to Crash Blossoms.
I remember one from our local paper a few years ago that I wish I had sent in to Jay Leno.
Police Shoot Man with Knife
One from the Seattle Times a few years back:
Brace For Another Stiff Blow
Bear eats,shoots ,and leaves
My favorite 
Oblong Man Marries Normal Woman
