Yahoo! may have had to abandon any hope of hiring college graduates to write headlines for its front page. Heck, I think it may have abandoned hope of hiring high school graduates. It looks like the Internet giant is content with hiring elementary-school dropouts, who probably write just the way they speak:
What’s next for headlines on yahoo.com? I expect to see LMFAO any day now.
