A Bit Tasteless

The Jewish Week seems to have inexplicably given two separate articles about the possible blurring of church/state lines the same title. Strange enough as that may sound, the shared title itself is an even stranger choice:
New Breaches In Church State Levee
It seems like a particularly tasteless turn of phrase - especially for the article that doesn't even have anything to do with Hurricane Katrina. I mean, the levee breaches that occurred in New Orleans did have the distinction of having killed hundreds of people. Pretty recently, too. Maybe it's just me, but perhaps the Jewish Week could have come up with another cute idea for a title (or two) that was actually, y'know, cute?

At least kugel isn't tasteless.

Ah, we're back to the good ol' weekly Wednesday night tradition. Glad the good people at the NYJW didn't let us down.

Seriously, two articles with the same headline? Insensitive or not, that's just ridiculous. We bloggers manage to come up with headlines for each of our posts. They're paid journalists; it shouldn't be too much to expect different headlines for different articles.

the papers do it all the time, and it is in very poor taste. after the tsunami in s.e. asia, that word became the "flavor of the month" to describe any seemingly overwhelming event. it's simply a lack of sensitivity.
