21 great headlines from trashy tabloids

Nice one... Also a treasure of swipe files for the ads in the actual magazines...

There are some good and some bad. Look for the ads that reoccur with some frequency and find out what makes them tick.

Nice share,

-Scott

Amazing, amazing resource. I've been going through the DM ads for the last 2 hours. Some ads I've seen from Bud Weckesser, Eugene Schwartz, Ben Suarez & Gary Halbert.

Killer Joe · 10-26-2009, 07:46 PM

It's interesting that almost every one of those headlines are bold face lies.

I'm not saying this to cause controversy, just as an observation.

So what does that tell us about human nature?

No wonder we need the FTC to protect us from ourselves...

Thanks for the link.

That is really something that every marketer should take a look...

Happy to find this.
Thanks alot.

It's interesting to note that 99% of the headlines follow the
same pattern--what I would call the oxymoron model--the
opposite and incredible.

This is the model that Carlton followed in the 'one-legged golfer'
headline.

To quote a few:

"Divorce couple dies when their cars collide on the way to
patch things up"

"Little girls survives brain cancer and dies in car accident 2 weeks
later"

"Eat like a pig and still lose weight!"

"Let's legalize drugs to keep nation from going to pot!"

"Chain-smoker kicks 30-year habit and chokes to death on nicotine gum!"

I've even seen a few headlines swiped by some internet marketers,
such as the "Ex-truck driver who makes $X,XXX ....."

Great find.

Loving her was easy – until she took off her clothes!

Man makes $60,000 a year as human lawn jockey

Chain-smoker kicks 30-year habit … then chokes to death on wad of nicotine gum!

These are funny
