While I wouldn't have used "Wedgie of Mass Discussion," I did find it amusing as hell.

You know I appreciate most inappopriate headlines, but I couldn't even crack a smile at this one.
I did crack a smile to discover that you found it amusing, though.

Heh, heh -- you said "crack."
I always feel as if this is the niche that the Post is supposed to occupy in the newspaper world: write the headline you think of but dismiss as ridiculous.
