Dear CNN.com,

Never, ever, ever use this sort of headline again.

Even my grandmother knows that saying ". . .NOT!" went out about 12 years ago. Not that a respected news organization should ever use it in the first place.

That's just bad. Horribly bad.

Now that's just silliness.

"We Have Editors -- NOT!"

Overheard at the CNN boardroom:

"Hmmmm....'You've Got Mail' is pretty out of date, but I want a kicker that is so out of date, so old, that no one will even look at the story"

"How about 'Is That Your Final Answer?'"

"How about 'Wassssuuuuppp?!?'"

"no,no,no. I've got it!! '. . .NOT!!'"

And. . . scene.

You Are the Weakest FBI Agent. Goodbye.

the sad thing is, these are people who are actually PAID to write. that sickens me.

i would have been happier with "SYKE!"

"Watchoo Talkin' 'bout, E-Mail?"

"E-Mail provider to FBI: Did I Do That?"

At least they didn't say ".....Sike!"

"E-Mail-less FBI Agents Tell Boss to "Kiss Their Grits""

No, but Margot Dent did, about 2 posts before you.

Yer Slippin'

"FBI Agents Say that E-Mail Access Would Be "Dy-NO-Mite!!""

I also like how CNN has modified their iconic logotype to include "with free video". The first major news site altering their logo is almost as crazy as changing the AT&T logo.

Isn't it "Psyche"?

ALL YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS ARE BELONG TO THE FBI

"FBI: 'No E-Mail? Talk to the Hand!!'"

Guns! Ching! Badges! Ba-da-bing! E-mail address! CHING!

Remember that one? Seth Green, I think? In some fast food commercial?

FBI Agents Say Email Would Be Bitchin.

E-Mail Address? AS IF!

"FBI Agents Lack E-Mail Access, Claim To Have Just Saved A Bunch of Money on Car Insurance"

Where's the E-mail?!

"E-Mail-less FBI Agents tell Boss to "Eat Their Shorts," Director Responds: "Don't Have a Cow, Men""
