Matt LeBlanc's Divorce is Finalized
If it was my job to write boring headlines for eight hours a day, five days a week, I would never be able to touch the frailty of this Friday, September 22, 200 headline from The Washington Post:Matt Leblanc's Divorce is Finalized
Nothing about this makes me want to continue reading. If I was Senior Editor over at Google News I would have at least attempted to make this turd shine.

Matt Leblanc Divorces But Will Joey Be Able To Let Go?
Punchline of the Dale! I'm loving it. Great to see you here.
And you're right, Joey has always been the more sensitive dolt.
That's true when you give all the news in a headline, no need to read on... i would read any story under those headlines you proposed.... Or maybe a teaser headline like
Friends' Star Divorce Finalized
-Lisa
Very true Lisa. I was initially struck by the light weight subject, Matt Leblanc, and how commonplace the situation. But you make a great point that the fault of the headline is that it's all told in the headline.
