Headline dead line # 19

In the dock: The Sportstar
The offending subject: The cover
The image: Tiger Woods
The dead line: 'Invincible'
Comment:
Don't you think Tiger deserved better? Don't you think the cover deserved better? Don't you think the reader deserved better? Obviously, the venerated folk at the most revered and the boring institution in Indian journalism do not think so. Unfortunately, nothing in the world is going to make a difference to them. That's what happens when you become a self-serving institution. I guess. Check out Sports Illustrated's headline for the same story. Definitely not a dead line.
