If I had a nickel for every time someone went on tirade subthread about David’s use of newspaper headline syntax…
This time it’s really weird because there’s hardly even anything nonstandard here. It’s the same structure as in sentences like “Take Toyota Prius for a test drive, win free movie tickets”; “Buy a six pack of Sandels beer, get a free beer mug” or “Fuck bitches, get money”.
the most ordinary newspaper headline I could find: the San Francisco Chronicle’s front page where the title is “INVASION!” in the biggest font they could justify (pun intended) and the subtitle is “Allies pouring into Northern France!” because it’s a headline about the Nazi killing parts of world war 2 I like and recommend
