Zelda's Inferno exercise: make up news headlines. Some folks went with the funny on this one, but I found myself frustrated at seeing the same bad news and stupid opinions over and over again, so this came out

Generic headlines for today's top stories:

- Foreigners we like are fighting foreigners we don't like

* National:

- Celebrity may have had an affair

- We have always been at war with Oceania

- Media is in a frenzy about possible celebrity affair

- Bankers get rich off of the working class

- OpEd: Foreigners shouldn't be allowed into our country

- Pundits comment on celebrity affair media frenzy

* Local:

- Baltimore man shot

- Baltimore man beaten

- Baltimore man knifed

- Baltimore store robbed

- Baltimore woman raped

* Arts and Entertainment:

- Well-marketed soulless blockbuster film opens to huge weekend take

- Critics say: Pretentious art-house film is great

- Book review: why bother, nobody reads books anyway

- Local art scene still receives no coverage
