    Gawker Guessing Game: The New York Post's Heavy Metal Headline

    Damn, New York Post. You rocked it with today's headline, which gets placed in the epic "STAB BABY" headline file. But why so serious? Who're they talking about? Pinch Sulzberger? Col Allen? Jon Gosselin? Make guesses, place your bets! Ready?

    Via Mark Lisanti and FilmDrunk, if you guessed "terrorists," than you guessed right. Also, you're boring.

    Couldn't they have saved this one for someone better? I mean, yes, listen, people who kill other people are shitty and suck, but this is just great, like, artful-great. Like, okay, if NYDN publisher Mort Zuckerman were on his deathbed, this would've been awesome. If their Boris and Natahsa-esque gossip columnist Rush & Molloy were put on trial for being communists, again: incredible. But to waste this one on terrorists just seems a little, I don't know, blase?

    Anyway. We can't help but see potential in you, Post. To whoever guessed correctly, take a bow, you get nothing except the knowledge that you're an expert of New York Post headlines and/or you still have a job at the New York Post. Mazel.
