An item in the NY Press that we can appreciate here concerns attention-getting headlines above news stories. It seems that two 30-something women were vending hot dogs, chips, and sodas from a truck on a highway on Long Island – and also offering up their tasty selves inside the truck. The whores selling hot dogs were busted by an undercover cop posing as a hungry john. It was a story made in heaven for a headline writer. You’d think.

The Press scolds Newsday for titling its coverage with the unforgivably bland “Two Charged With Prostitution.” 1010 WINS, they say, fell short with “Cops: LI Women were selling hot dogs and sex.” The NY Daily News, always trying to beat out the inimitable Post in cleverness, came up with the awkward “Wiener wagon hotbed of sin.” So, of course, the Post rose above the fray again and won with “Hookers Relish Wieners.”

And what did the Press head its story? “You Want Mustard With That?”
