just a couple I spotted today....
On CBC News website - "Forecasters predict unpredictable summer."
....I guess all the meteorologists and weatherpersons want an extra long summer holiday, why show up for work if it's unpredictable.
On CTV Newsnet - "Molson's wants to increase marketshare"
duh...tell me about a company that *doesn't* want to increase market share - now that should make the news.
....dang copy-writers....

"Smart Detectives Dumbfounded" as seen recently in the Salt Lake media. (Referring to the kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart.)
In pointless news... "Man Commits 1000th Lame Comment to Internet Message Board"

</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="1" face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">All companies would generally want to increase profitability, and increasing market share is a common way of doing this, but it's not the only one. A company could develop a more premium product at a higher price, with the intention of reducing it's market share but generating higher revenues which more than compensate. Going all out for market share would usually involve discounting and heavy promotion, which is entirely different.
