Not headlines, but somebody once told me about some funny newswriting they saw that went like this:

"A woman's body was found stuffed in the trunk of her car by the police. The cause of death was determined to be strangulation by the coroner."

"Instead of either 'multi-talented' or 'multitalented' use 'bisexual'."
