TheMazz Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) you know after the Kovachuk sh!t we don't need teaser topics like this to stop our hearts You also know a proper title wouldn't get as many hits.

devilsrule33 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I'm happy I had read the article before, so I knew you were trolling. As for the topic at hand, shame he couldn't go out with a medal. Amazing that he came to play when so many of their top players decided to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing that he came to play when so many of their top players decided to pass. I know it's awful. He deserved one more medal. Hopefully he gets one last playoff run before he hangs em up for good.

"President Reagan DIES......his hair" I'm not lying am I. I'm not saying anything false. Something amateurish would be "Jagr asks for a trade" or something ridiculous like that.

Jagr asking for a trade would be an out and out lie. You're telling a half truth and leaving out pertinent information in an attempt to rile people up for...I don't know what reason? Because you think a few more people would read the topic on a message board? You're not exactly getting paid for hits here....somehow you feel you're being clever throughout all this.

How is it a "half-truth". It's a full truth. He has retired. From international competition but he has retired. I'm not saying anything false in the title or body therefore this thread is completely valid. 100% legitimate. Knock the wording however you like but the title is just a juicier way of saying the full title. Nothing wrong here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roomtemp Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 To be fair even if he did from all hockey at least it would be more understandable then the other guy's retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knock the wording however you like but the title is just a juicier way of saying the full title. Nothing wrong here. No, you're leaving out a very important piece of information in order to appear clever. I can find out, from some source that Cory Schneider fell off his bike and wont ever ride a bicycle again. So I can post "Cory Schneider has retired" and then in the body define what he has retired from. It isn't cute or funny, it's stupid and a poor attempt at humor or shock attempt. Then I can hide behind the "well technically I wasn't lying" argument too. There is enough room in the title to elaborate a little bit.

NJDevs26 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 You also know a proper title wouldn't get as many hits. I work in music journalism and post internet news stories. I know what's traffic bait. So you basically admit you're looking for attention. Was the title false? No. Intentionally misleading? Yes. Especially since you only put one period at the end of the title as opposed to three or more when someone's clearly teasing more info.

There's way worst to be shocked about than buddie's thread title lol It's amazing I have to explain this but you don't have to watch those videos if you don't want to (unless you have mean spirited friends who try to link you to them). This site is sometimes moderated, so people can't just post that kind of thing on the site - they will be banned. That's because people who run sites like this have decided that allowing that sort of thing just makes people upset and leads to them having a more negative impression of the site. The same is true of intentionally misleading headlines. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
