Ditto.

Also: That's fucking disgusting.

Whoever wrote that needs to be smacked upside the head. HARD. However, it is the NY Post, so I'm not really surprised.

Hit me again Ike- and this time, put some stank on it!

That headline was tacky, distasteful, and shamefully hilarious.

And I'll head this off now- no, domestic abuse is never funny. I just take solace in the fact that Tina completely eclipsed Ike's career after she threw him to the curb.

...that, and you know she could totally pop his head off with those massive thighs if he ever tried it again.

That even outdoes previous Post classics, like "Headless Body in Topless Bar".

That's a jaw-dropper!

That is tasteless, but I laughed out loud. Shame on me.

Congrats for keeping us in suspense and making us follow the link to see the headline. I'm sure the Post will feel validated by all the extra hits.

Awesome headline! The offended parties need to lighten up. I know, it's a tough request to make in Seattle, but I'm holding out some hope.

I also laughed out loud; I'm so ashamed.

The Post may be appalling, but their headlines are pure Weekly-World-News-style genius. My all-time fave from the Post, which I believe came after a particularly nasty outbreak of mosquito induced West Nile Virus: Let Us Spray.

The Ike one is good, but this one from the AFP still rulz the zeitgeist of 2007 (and no I just can't let it go):

You could learn a thing or two from this.
