How to Get Linked, Lesson One

Write a headline as good as this:

Paris teens charged in bare-breasted robberies

If you don’t get linked with a headline like that, you are obviously sending tips to the wrong blogger. Beyond the headline, it helps if there’s actually an interesting story:

French police believe they’ve gotten to the bottom of a series of robberies in which teenage girls exposed their breasts to distract men withdrawing money from Paris cash machines. . . .
Police say that on August 7, a man inserted a card into a cash machine in central Paris to withdraw money when two young females approached him and asked for money. The girls waved a newspaper at the man in an attempt to distract him, but the technique didn’t work.
So the girls tried another strategy: One of them bared her breasts and put her hand on the man’s genitals while the other took the opportunity to withdraw 300 euros, police said.

And if you want to send an experienced reporter to France to get the real story of this nefarious criminal activity, just hit the tip jar.

UPDATE: “Why is Halle Berry violating my human rights?” and “Sex is a human right?” You know, I’m starting to feel victimized here.

  1. Stace, activities around those ATM’s are recorded via security cameras. If Mrs. Other McCain were to see you, mouth agape, while one French babe exposes her breasts and checks the package, while the other grabs the cash out of your hand…

    you’re toast.

  3. I don’t know if Eve would ever smack Adam upside the head. There weren’t any other women around at the time. But if it plays out like Stace is thinking, I’ll guaran-damn-tee you Mrs. Other McCain will.
