Ok, 2010 is almost done and dusted, so let's have some fun. This thread was inspired by another thread on must have words for you WSO headline.

So what the most outrageous phrase you've ever seen in a headline (or used)?

I'll start with:

Sucks Cash From Your Customer's Wallet Like A Hoover On Steroids!

Obliterate Your Competition Like A Trained Navy Seal

Feel free to contribute in the spirit of fun.

      My wife manages a dry cleaners. Her boss changes the main sign outside periodically with different specials. Here's one that I thought was funny:

      "Drop Your Pants Off Here"

        Not really a headline but funny all the same. My boss once said to me: Stephen, I know you always give your best and work very hard. But could you (with some hesitation) erm, work a little bit harder?

      Outrageous? All it takes is money and an adwords account.

      My fave headline is "Headless man in topless bar".

    Metronicity pwns this particular niche. He offends the crap out of me, time and time again.

    And that's exactly what he's going for, so instead of thinking he's a complete jackhole, I appreciate that he's very good at what he does... which is something I really do wish more people would take into consideration.

      Say what?

      I actually agree that you have to get creative to position yourself.

      The OP was more about crappulous, outrageous promises. It's one thing to be different or offensive, it's another to promise the impossible.

    The most outrageous hook, line and sinker headline I have ever heard was on a Californian News Teaser in 2005.

    "Sharks in YOUR neighborhood lake? Find out at TEN!"

    It was more like "find out at 10:55" and I knew better than to think there could actually be a shark in a lake.

    Sure enough I watched the whole damn news broadcast to have the news man insult me by saying "sharks don't live in lakes, it was just a really big fish!"

    Never again... LOL
