The gruesome discovery spoke to a ghastly crime.

On the afternoon of July 20, someone using a waterfront trail in Alameda spotted a large garbage bag wrapped in duct tape that smelled as if it was full of dead fish from the bay. When responding officers looked inside, they found the dismembered remains of a young woman whose head, hands and feet had been removed.

    For all the people saying this is simply a badly written title.

    Do you actually believe that?

    Why is it that all these “badly written” titles, also happen to be designed to instill an outrage reaction?

    It’s not a coincidence or accident. All these “badly written” titles these days are done so deliberately. Just like YouTube is full of O-face thumbnails and bullshit titles, so is “the news”.

    It works in pulling in eyes.

      Of course it’s badly written. What are you trying to imply?

      He isn’t even named, it just says “him”. How are we supposed to know who “him” is? The only named person is Trump, so how can we be expected to think “him” means anyone else?

        THAT’S THE FUCKING POINT!

        It’s entirely deliberately written to instill that thought.

        And it’s not “badly written” as it is 100000000% effective in what it is meant to do.

          Writing badly on purpose is still writing badly lol

          Just replace “him” with “this man”, and it’s still clickbait but clearer. Or hell, just put his name there. The circumstance itself is interesting enough for an article without resorting to tricks.
