Results: This survey is about newspaper headlines - ones that grab your attention for reasons other than was intended (or maybe not).
Some newspaper headlines are obvious click bait but we click them anyway. Some make us laugh and cheerfully investigate. Some make us angry. Some we admire for their creativity. Here are a few that grabbed me. Feel free to add some of your own in the comments.
