More in misleading headlines

Sep 25, 2009 21:46

CNN's outdone itself in a headline that reads the exact opposite of reality.

Headline: "Gal wearing 1 dress every day for year"

My reading of it: "Gal wears a different dress every day for a year, for a grand total of 365 dresses." Curious what the big deal was (and out of non-work things to do on the intertubes), I clicked.

Reality: "Gal wears the same dress for a year, for a grand total of 1 dress." Social activist, Sheena Matheiken, from India got her designer friend to make a versatile dress, 7 copies of it in fact. Matheiken is wearing one of the 7 copies every day for a year, accessorizing it to the hilt, and raising donations for education in India.
