World's Most Misleading Headline

I can't even tell you what a runner-up for this award would be, because ladies and gentlemen, we have a runaway winner:

Butts Arrested in Boob Murder Case

I mean, that's a story you want to read, right? Right?

Yeah ... that's the thing, though. It's way less cool when you actually do the reading:

POTTER TOWNSHIP, CENTRE COUNTY - Police have arrested a third person in connection with the murder of Samuel Boob. Boob was shot and killed at his home in Potter Township, Centre County, on the morning of August 23rd, 2009.

Kermit Butts, 26, of Madisonburg, is accused of driving the suspected killer to and from the crime scene on the morning of the killing.  He was charged with aggravated assault and assisting a murder suspect and placed in the Centre County Prison.
See, I mean ... that's sad. That's a genuine tragedy. More importantly...

It has nothing to do with girl parts! 

Instead, it features a really seriously creepy looking guy here, who apparently is named Mr. Butts. (His friends call him Kermit.)

It's not easy being Butts.
