Yesterday, when news broke that a police officer had plotted to abduct, cook, and eat up to 100 women, New Yorkers everywhere wondered,
"how does something so horrible happen?" "I wonder what the headlines on the
Post and
Daily News will be tomorrow?" And then a nanny went and stabbed two small children. Cannibal cop didn't even warrant a mention on the
News'
front page; he got a small mention at the very bottom of
the Post's. But, you know, if one terrible thing happened per day in New York, here's a smattering of the Internet's best ideas for headlines, culled from
