Humans in a Shipping Container

You know, I didn't think it was possible to get more prosaic than Snakes on a Plane for a movie title, till I started noticing ads everywhere for Lifetime's Human Trafficking. Beats the snakes, if you ask me.

Whatever happened to creativity? Whatever happened to the gerund phrase titles like Finding Neverland and Chasing Amy, or prepositionals like Into the Blue or In the Heat of the Night? Man, even loser action titles like The Eraser or The Island look good next to Human Trafficking.

(ETA: Sigh. I think I really, really need that red blinking neon that says I'm joking.)
