I'm not sure about the BBC News headline 'Children's boss axed after death':
So first the children's boss died, and then someone hacked at her corpse with an axe? Wait, no - it wasn't her death, and she was only axed metaphorically.
Even changing 'axed' to 'sacked' would have made for a better headline - and it's not as if two extra characters would have caused it to bust.
UPDATE - I've just looked again at the story on the BBC News website and spotted that the headline has been rewritten since I took my original screengrab yesterday:
So 'axed' has become 'fired' and 'death' is now qualified with 'toddler'. In addition, 'Children's boss' has become 'Salford children's director'.

It's something to do with getting the chop. We mentioned it over at Inky Fool http://inkyfool.blogspot.com/2009/11/axe.html
Its also a great initiative by the FunnelBrain team.
Could he sound more like a shill?
