Sometimes we click on headlines because they seem interesting, and sometimes we click on headlines because of the sheer incongruity between them and their hosting publication. Welcome to today's most embarassing headline...

CNN, America's "most trusted name in news," has either jumped the shark or nuked the fridge, or just gotten so plum bored with all their "big shot" reporting that they decided that a beer marathon was worthy of their breaking front page news. And it's not just any old piece about a beer marathon, but one headlined "Beer Marathoners Run, Drink, Vomit."

 But, wait! It gets better. After the jump (is it called that outside of blogland?) the headline is changed to "Runners Must Drink Beer." Breaking news, eh, CNN?

As for the story in question - yeah, it's relatively interesting, in that it's about a beer marathon, in that we clicked on it, and in that we managed to watch about two-thirds of the video, which amounts to approximately one entire minute, which means that they held our attention about 59 seconds longer than the NY Times Sunday Styles section did yesterday. 

Oh, and also, the video shows people puking. Way to go, CNN! Keep on, keepin' on!

And while we're at it, feel free to share any ridiculous headlines you find today. We're really bored.
